Observational Study
Evaluating the need for close follow-up after removal of a noncomplicated corneal foreign body.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the need for close follow-up after removal of noncomplicated corneal foreign bodies. ⋯ Few noncomplicated injuries develop infectious keratitis. We recommend fewer follow-ups for these injuries. However, if patients develop any worsening in eye pain, irritation, redness, or decrease in their visual acuity, they should return promptly for reassessment.
