Retained Intraocular Sand Resulting in Corneal Endothelial Cell Dysfunction: A Case Report
Abstract
Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFB) are common in trauma settings. Certain IOFB such as sand may lay inert and not cause an immediate immunologic response to the eye. We present a case of an inert intraocular foreign body which slowly contributed to endothelial cell dysfunction and corneal decompensation for 5 months before initial patient presentation.
