More information aboutExtraction of Conjunctival Foreign Body
The extraction of a conjunctival foreign body is performed in the office, if necessary, under local anesthesia with anesthetic drops. This local anesthesia helps minimize discomfort and pain during the procedure.
The ophthalmologist uses specialized instruments such as sterile forceps or spatulas for the removal of the foreign body. With care and precision, the object is removed from the conjunctival surface without causing additional damage to the eye.
After the extraction, an antibiotic or anti-inflammatory eye drop may be prescribed to prevent infections and reduce inflammation. The use of cold compresses may also be recommended to relieve discomfort and swelling.
