abstract="PURPOSE: To report three cases of intraocular foreign bodies resulting from walking or running along roadways. DESIGN: Case reports. METHODS: Three separate incidents of walking or running along roadways with &quot;traumatic events&quot; resulting in intraocular foreign bodies. RESULTS: Each patient had pars plana vitrectomy with removal of intraocular foreign bodies. Chemical analysis was performed to give information on the potential origins of each foreign body. CONCLUSION: We hypothesize these intraocular foreign bodies were projected from the road surface with sufficient energy to penetrate the globe. Intraocular foreign bodies may result from simply walking or running along roadways.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
