摘要

Aims. To assess of factors associated with time until to treatment and analyze of demographic and clinical characteristics of corneal foreign body patients. Method. Fifty-nine eyes of 59 corneal foreign body patients were included in this study. Routine ophthalmological examination was performed of patients. Superficial foreign body was removed with the aid of the needle tip with using the slit lamp after instillation of local anesthetic. The factors associated with time until to treatment were statistically evaluated. Results. Of 59 patients, 10 (16.9%) were female and 49 (83.1%) were male. The mean time until to treatment of the patients, age, size of the foreign body were as follows; 105.79±174.80 hour, 32.96±13.52 year, 1.288±1.087mm. The agent was mostly iron (49.2%). Foreign body, there was 33 (55.9%) right eye and 26 (44.1%) left eye of cases. Corneal foreign body localization were mostly central corneal (40.7%) inferior nasal (28.8%) and inferior temporal (23.7%). The job was mostly worker (47.5%) and farmer (25.4%). The assessed by Mann-Whitney U test and there was no association between time until to treatment and age, affected eye, size of the foreign body and corneal foreign body localization. Time until to treatment showed statistically significant association with gender, foreign body agent and job (p<0.05). Conclusion. It is observed that young men mostly affected at corneal foreign bodies, time until to treatment by associated with gender, foreign body agent and job, mostly central corneal, inferior nasal and inferior temporal localization of corneal foreign body.
