Abstract：Objective To study and discuss the clinical characteristics and treatment of ocular siderosis. Methods Seven patients (7 eyes) with ocular siderosis treated in Department of Ophthalmology of Xinqiao Hospi-tal from Jul.2012 to Dec.2014 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients underwent preoperative B-ultrasonogra-phy,ultrasond biomicroscopy(UBM),orbital CT examination and electrophysiological examination(ERG).Foreign bodies were located at the retina in 3 cases (3 eyes),at the pars plana in 3 cases (3 eyes) and at the anterior chamber angle in 1 case (1 eye).Foreign body in the angle of anterior chamber was removed in 1 case (1 eye). Six cases (6 eyes) underwent pars plana vitrectomy for the removal of foreign bodies,among them 3 cases (3 eyes) associated with retinal detachment received silicone oil injection after reattachment,2 cases (2 eyes) associated with cataract were performed phacoemulsification.Results All patients extracted the iron-foreign bodies successfully. The visual acuity was improved in 2 cases(2 eyes,28.6%),did not change in 3 cases(3 eyes,42.8%) and was de-creased in 2 cases(2 eyes,28.6%).Conclusion Ocular siderosis caused by iron foreign body severely influences the visual function.Patients with ocular trauma should be examined timely and carefully to reduce ocular siderosis. Once identified,the iron foreign body should be extracted immediately to avoid further damage of visual function.
