A 29-year-old man who works at a factory cutting wires presented with mildly decreased vision and a remote history of eye trauma 1 year previously. Clinical exam revealed a large metallic intraocular foreign body.

This video highlights a new application for the Finesse Flex Loop (Alcon Laboratories, Inc, Fort Worth, TX), which the surgeons utilize here to snare the distal end of the foreign body and aid in its extraction.
