Sean D. Adrean, MD, FAAO

Dr. Adrean’s 45-year-old male patient presented with a large rusty nail which penetrated the pupil when he was using a chainsaw. The patient’s vision was LP upon initial eye examination.

After the nail was removed, a large hole remained which expressed vitreous. Dr. Adrean utilized a 23-gauge small gauge platform to place his infusion and start suturing to close the large hole. Rust remained on the cornea from the nail. The retina was intact with no tears.

The patient required PK and secondary IOL.

PO Day 1: CF
PO 1 month: Aphakic with a million sutures and a million diopters of astigmatism; VA: 20/200
