Clinical Characteristics, Outcomes, and Complications Associated with Delayed Diagnosis of Intraocular Foreign Bodies

On this episode of the JVRD Author’s Forum podcast, Dr. Lucia Sobrin of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary at Harvard Medical School discusses “Clinical Characteristics, Outcomes, and Complications Associated with Delayed Diagnosis of Intraocular Foreign Bodies,” published in the July/August 2025 issue of the Journal of VitreoRetinal Diseases.

Host Dr. Timothy Murray and Dr. Sobrin review her team’s findings from a large case series of patients with delayed intraocular foreign body diagnosis. Hear how careful history-taking, anterior and posterior segment exams, gonioscopy, and adjunctive imaging can uncover missed foreign bodies, why many of these patients still had relatively good vision, and what surgical considerations—including vitrectomy, lens management, and intravitreal antibiotics—can improve outcomes.
