Abstract
Intraocular foreign bodies after cataract surgery are relatively frequent, and there are many cases published in the literature on this topic. Different kinds of foreign bodies of various materials can be found, and some of them with the ability to produce side effects. Their extraction is recommended whenever possible, always individualising each case. It also recommended to carry out preventive measures in all surgeries for their prevention. In this work a review is presented on the topic, considered important due to the possible ocular complications that can occur.
