A modified tip for the Bronson intraocular electromagnet has been
developed. The tip was machined to a 20-gauge cylinder that can be inserted
readily into the eye either through an entrance wound or through a pars
plana incision. Placement of the tip of the magnet inside the eye allows
the foreign body to impact the tip of the magnet rather than the wall of
the eye.
