The patient, a professional foreman, visited the ophthalmologist with complains of redness and irritation in the right eye. A foreign particle had entered the eye while working. The doctor prescribed medicines, but to no avail.
The irritation and redness persisted; hence, the patient consulted the doctor after about ten days. The doctor, once again, prescribed medicines. There was no improvement. The patient followed up for the third time, the doctor prescribed medicines again. The condition of patient’s eye kept worsening.
The patient consulted another doctor who advised him to consult a reputed national hospital. CT scan and X-ray were performed at this hospital – a foreign object, measuring 4mm x 2.7mm, was reported stuck in the right eye.
