Abstract The choice between one-stage (removal during primary repair) and two-stage (delayed removal) surgical repair for intraocular foreign body injury is often based on injury characteristics, institutional capabilities, and surgeon expertise. This study aims to compare vision outcomes and complication incidence after one-stage (n = 70) and two-stage (n = 40) intraocular foreign body removal and surgical repair across multiple academic centers.

A white man in his 70s was referred for evaluation of choroidal melanoma in his right eye. His ocular surgical history was notable for uncomplicated pseudophakia. The best-corrected visual acuity was 20/40 OD. Ultra wide-field laser scanning imaging of his fundus is shown in the Figure. Peripheral exudative chorioretinopathy is a subretinal and subretinal pigment epithelial hemorrhagic process reminiscent of the peripheral exudative lesions seen in age-related macular degeneration.
