Abstract
PURPOSE: To describe multiple retained intraocular foreign bodies felt to be from a vitrectomy instrument.
METHODS: Observational case report.
PATIENT: A 66-year-old male with history of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repaired with PPV, scleral buckle, endolaser, and fluid-air exchange presented with dyschromatopsia OD.
RESULTS: OCT demonstrated metallic vitrector shavings detected on OCT above the optic nerve head and macula. Repeat OCT 9 months later demonstrated movement of the vitrector shavings throughout the vitreous.
CONCLUSION: We demonstrate retained intraocular foreign body shavings which are rarely seen following vitrectomy. These can be confirmed using OCT.
