Intracorneal pencil graphite particles following penetrating ocular injury
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: We present three cases of intracorneal pencil graphite particles following penetrating ocular injury.Slit lamp examination revealed pencil graphite particles in the corneal stroma in all cases.Although we did not remove the particles, no complications occurred during the follow-up period.We assumed that removal of the pencil graphite particles was unnecessary, and it was avoided to prevent the occurrence of irregular astigmatism. Keywords:pencil graphite particles, penetrating ocular injury
