In 39 patients was removed an intraocular foreign body in the years 1989-1991. 12 of them in the anterior segment of the eye, 14 in the vitreous body, 11 in the retina and 2 in the posterior part of the sclera. From the anterior segment were all bodies removed with forceps. From the vitreous body and the retina were foreign bodies removed mostly by forceps after previous vitrectomy. Functionally the worst results were achieved in foreign bodies where pre-, or peroperatively retinal detachment was present. Visual acuity under hand movement was present in 12 eyes.
