Resumen

CUAN AGUILAR, Yoriel et al. Intralenticular foreign body. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2021, vol.34, n.4  Epub 15-Ene-2022. ISSN 1561-3070.

Intralenticular foreign bodies account for up to 10% of all intraocular foreign bodies. That is why their observation is not frequent in ophthalmologic practice. They are more often reported in male young people who have experienced trauma while working without appropriate protection. An intralenticular foreign body generally causes progressive vision reduction due to cataract formation. Increased intraocular pressure is also common. Early surgical intervention combining several procedures in a single surgery time, including removal of the intralenticular foreign body with forceps, leads to good visual results and ocular hypertension control. The article describes two cases of intralenticular foreign bodies retained in the outer cortex of the crystalline lens, and includes detailed information about the circumstances of the trauma, the nature of the foreign body, and the medical and surgical procedures conducted in both cases with common characteristics.

Palabras clave : Intralenticular foreign body; intraocular foreign body; ocular trauma.
