Data regarding signalment, reason for evaluation, ocular diagnoses, and treatment were recorded. Hydropulsion was performed with a 6-mL syringe filled with eyewash solution and a 25-gauge needle with the needle tip removed. Owners and referring veterinarians of patients that did not have a recheck examination recorded were contacted by telephone for follow-up information.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\u2014The corneal foreign body was an incidental finding in 3 of 15 patients. The most common clinical signs included blepharospasm, conjunctival hyperemia, and corneal vascularization. Hydropulsion was successful for foreign body removal in all 15 cases. No complications were observed during or following the procedure. In the 9 patients that had a follow-up examination, the cornea tested negative for retention of topically applied fluorescein (with a mean of 6.3 days from treatment to follow-up). At the time of last follow-up examination or telephone follow-up, no patients were reported to have clinical signs of ocular discomfort or corneal opacity associated with the affected site.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014In these patients, hydropulsion was easily performed with readily available materials and was successful for the removal of superficial corneal foreign bodies with no adverse effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.244.4.476","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,30]],"date-time":"2014-01-30T20:26:46Z","timestamp":1391113606000},"page":"476-479","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Use of hydropulsion for the treatment of superficial corneal foreign bodies: 15 cases (1999\u20132013)"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"244","author":[{"given":"Amber L.","family":"Labelle","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kathryn","family":"Psutka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sean P.","family":"Collins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ralph E.","family":"Hamor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Veterinary ocular emergencies","first-page":"60","article-title":"Cornea","author":"Williams","year":"2002"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Small animal ophthalmology","first-page":"159","article-title":"Corneal foreign body","author":"Turner","year":"2008"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Small animal ophthalmology: a problem oriented approach","first-page":"223","article-title":"Orbital and ocular pain","author":"Renwick","year":"2009"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"Slatter's fundamentals of veterinary ophthalmology","first-page":"202","article-title":"Cornea and sclera","author":"Maggs","year":"2013"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"Vet Med Small Anim Clin","first-page":"874","article-title":"Conjunctival and corneal foreign bodies","volume":"68","author":"Rebhun","year":"1973"},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"Vet Med Small Anim Clin","first-page":"1423","article-title":"Organic corneal foreign bodies in the dog","volume":"69","author":"Gelatt","year":"1974"},{"key":"ref7","series-title":"Vet Med Small Anim Clin","first-page":"259","article-title":"Removal of a corneal foreign body","volume":"72","year":"1977"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"Am Fam Physician","first-page":"149","article-title":"Management of corneal foreign bodies","volume":"31","author":"Newell","year":"1985"},{"key":"ref9","series-title":"Optom Clin","first-page":"59","article-title":"Corneal foreign body removal and treatment","volume":"1","author":"Augeri","year":"1991"},{"key":"ref10","series-title":"Am J Emerg Med","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"489","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajem.2010.12.038","article-title":"Corneal foreign body removal using a bent needle tip","volume":"30","author":"Beyer","year":"2012"},{"key":"ref11","series-title":"Severin's veterinary ophthalmology notes","author":"Severin","year":"1995"},{"key":"ref12","series-title":"Arch Ophthalmol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"254","DOI":"10.1001\/archopht.1960.00950020256008","article-title":"Corneal rust ring.
