Foreign Body Removal

Foreign body removal is a procedure offered at Desai Eye Hospital to safely remove any object that has entered the eye, causing discomfort or potential damage. Foreign bodies, such as dust, metal shards, or wood, can cause irritation and pain, leading to serious complications like infection or corneal scratches. Our skilled ophthalmologists use specialized tools and techniques to gently remove the foreign object while minimizing any further injury to the eye. Depending on the type and location of the foreign body, local anaesthesia may be used to ensure patient comfort during the procedure.

After removal, the eye is carefully examined to ensure no debris remains and to check for any damage to the cornea or other eye structures. Post-procedure care includes prescribed medications to prevent infection and promote healing. At Desai Eye Hospital, we emphasize patient safety and well-being, offering personalized treatment plans and follow-up care to ensure the eye heals properly. Our goal is to relieve discomfort, restore vision, and prevent any long-term complications.
