Abstract
To describe the construction of a novel intraocular snare and evaluate its effectiveness in intraocular foreign body (IOFB) removal. This is a retrospective consecutive case series. Five patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy and IOFB removal using the intraocular snare constructed from modified flute needle. All IOFBs were successfully engaged and removed with the snare on the first attempt. Three of the 5 cases (60%) enjoyed good visual outcome (0.4-1.0) postoperatively. No complication related to the use of the snare was encountered in this case series. Intraocular foreign body snare is simple, safe, and effective in IOFB removal.
