Its association with the intraocular foreign body makes the diagnosis and treatment even more difficult resulting<br />in poor anatomical and visual outcomes. We report a case of a 35-year-old male who presented with bilateral, multiple corneal and intraocular foreign body due to firecracker explosion. His vision was<br />limited to hand movement in both eyes. Combined penetrating keratoplasty and cataract surgery were done in both eyes followed by pars plana vitrectomy for intraocular foreign body removal.<br />The final best-corrected visual acuity of the patient stood to be 6/6 and 6/9 in the right and left eye respectively. The encouraging result in our case prompts ophthalmologists for a timely stepwise<br />multidisciplinary approach in all open globe injuries with intraocular foreign body cases having poor initial acuity.</p>}, number={226}, journal={Journal of Nepal Medical Association}, author={Rajbanshi, Lily and Kumari, Archana and Singh, Sanjay}, year={2020}, month={Jun.}, pages={423–426} }
