Intraocular foreign bodies may remain quiescent for many years particularly if they are not metallic. We report a case of a missed intraocular stone foreign body that had remained asymptomatic underneath the iris for 60 years and appeared during cataract surgery.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of varying endocryocoagulation parameters on retinal function and histological integrity in a rabbit model and to assess the feasibility of intraocular foreign body (IOFB) removal using a 20G cryoprobe. Twenty-seven adult New Zealand white rabbits were randomly assigned to three experimental groups (n = 9 per group). Endocryocoagulation was administered with a 20G cryoprobe under different conditions: Group An underwent vitreous cavity freezing for 5 s; Group B underwent retinal surface freezing for 5 s; and Group C underwent vitreous cavity freezing for 10 s.

Background: Occult intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) can present with atypical symptoms and clinical signs, making diagnosis challenging. We describe a case of an undetected IOFB that was missed on both computed tomography and B-ultrasound, ultimately leading to ocular siderosis and secondary glaucoma.
Case Summary: A 55-year-old male patient presented to our clinic reporting a one-month history of right ocular discomfort and progressive visual deterioration.

Glaucoma stands as a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Glaucoma filtration surgery (GFS) is the main surgical approach for its treatment. However, postoperative inflammation or immune responses can stimulate excessive scar formation, compromising surgical outcomes and potentially leading to complications such as uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP).

Background: Intraocular gnathostomiasis is an exceptionally rare manifestation of Gnathostoma spinigerum infection. Ingested larvae from undercooked meat[1] can migrate to various body parts, causing significant morbidity. Intralenticular localization-where the larva is embedded within the crystalline lens-is extremely unique, with this video documenting the first reported global case.
