Keratopathy Associated With Intracorneal Glass

Intrastromal Corneal Glass Foreign Body in a Case of Spectacle Glass Injury

“…[6] Mannis et al reported a case of a 36-year-old patient with nonedematous keratopathy associated with microscopically demonstrable intracorneal glass fragments after 5 months of glass fragment injury. In addition to the keratopathy, a peculiar conjunctival degenerative process developed on the superior tarsus of the patient's same eye [12].…”

“…Recent advances in ocular imaging including high-resolution techniques for visualizing the anterior segment and angle structures such as anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) may be complementary to the diagnosis of missed glass particles and useful for monitoring patients with intrastromal glass FB. It helps in localization and can determine the depth and extent even when slit lamp evaluation is limited by corneal opacities [12,13].…”

Ultrahigh-resolution OCT imaging of the human cornea

“…Since glass is considered to be completely inert, no immediate removal was required [62]. However, because complications such as keratopathy or irregular astigmatism may occur, the patient has to be followed up regularly [63,64].…”

Well-Tolerated Intracorneal Wood Foreign Body of 40-Year Duration

“…Ibarra et al 5 described a case of caterpillar setae embedded within the conjunctiva, cornea, iris, and retina that did not incite intraocular inflammation and was observed. Mannis et al 6 presented a case of chronic, nonedematous keratopathy, band keratopathy, progressive subepithelial opacity, and pannus formation from subclinical intracorneal glass fragments. Eventually, symptoms stabilized and no intervention was undertaken.…”
