AIM:To evaluate the modes and effects of surgical treatment for intraocular foreign bodies(IFBs). METHODS:The clinical data of 24 cases of IFBs were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: The successful rate of the extraction of IFBs treated with vitrectomy or posterior route extraction was 100%. There was not difference of the postoperative visual acuity between the two surgical means without complications. The postoperative visual acuity was improved in the cases with retina detachment, which were treated with vitrectomy. CONCLUSION: The treatment principle of the extraction of IFBs can not injury the affected eyes again. When we choose the surgical treatment for IFBs, the size, the position and the complications in the affected eyes must be analyzed.
