Ocular Trauma Score in Siderosis Bulbi With Retained Intraocular Foreign Body.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristic and visual outcome of siderosis bulbi with retained intraocular foreign body (IOFB) and to validate the predictive value of the Ocular Trauma Score (OTS) in siderosis bulbi. Certain numerical values rendered to the OTS variables at present were summated (Table 1) and converted into 5 OTS categories as performed in the OTS ...

Iron-containing corneal rust rings treated with desferrioxamine.

INJURY to the cornea with an iron-containing foreign body usually leaves a rust ring. Most surgeons advise complete removal of any rust, but this often causes considerable trauma to the already injured cornea. Desferrioxamine ("Desferal", Ciba Laboratories) is an iron-free compound isolated from a strain of Streptomycespilosus, which binds ferric ions to form an octahedral complex ferrioxamine....
