Abstract
Ocular trauma remains a leading cause of visual loss, most often affecting men (on average, five males are affected to one female). The incidence has been estimated as 3:10.000 of population (Tielsch and Parver 1990; Canavan et al. 1980). Severe injuries account for 5 % of all eye injuries (Schein et al. 1988). The clinical characteristics vary widely. Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFB) are common in war (Ahmadieh et al. 1993) and road traffic accidents. In children, sharp objects are most commonly implicated, and the complication of amblyopia limits visual recovery (Alfaro et al. 1994).
†Cesare Forlini, missed in this period and remain UNFORGETTABLE in the hearts of ophthalmologists in the world forever.
