A four-centimetre long partially rusted metal nail has been successfully removed from an eye of a man injured in a worksite accident, it has been revealed.
The challenging and delicate hour-long surgery was performed on the 21-year-old Bahraini carpenter by a special BDF medical team.
The patient, who sustained an injury in his right eye while using a nail gun, has since regained full normal vision in the affected eye, which is rare, according to BDF Eye Clinic head consultant ophthalmologist Dr Ghada Al Binali, who performed the operation along with eye specialist Dr Muhammad Shabeer.
