On July 31, 2025, Sai Gon Bien Hoa Eye Hospital recorded a special surgical case—one that was not only a professional success but also carried profound humanitarian value. It was the journey of effort and hope for Mr. Pham Van Chieu (born 1995), who endured six months with an iron foreign body in his eye following a labor accident.
Despite receiving treatment at various medical facilities, his condition did not improve or reach a definitive resolution. After six months of living with the pain, he decided to seek help at Sai Gon Bien Hoa Eye Hospital, where he found new hope.
1. A Complex Case: Rusted Iron Fragment and Severe Complications
Upon receiving the patient, doctors noted that Mr. Chieu’s eye was in a very serious state:
- Corneal scarring at the center of the pupil, reducing both near and distance vision.
- A rusted metal foreign body deeply embedded in the lens, causing inflammation and severely affecting the internal tissues of the eye.
- Complications resulting in Grade 4 Cataracts (end-stage), leaving his vision at the “hand motion” level—meaning he could only perceive blurry shadows when a hand was moved in front of him.
This was a rare situation requiring sophisticated intervention and cutting-edge equipment, as the risk of total permanent vision loss was extremely high if not handled with precise technique.
2.Sophisticated Surgical Solution: Combining Expertise and High Technology
To resolve this case, the medical team chose an advanced microsurgical approach, coordinating high technology with specialized techniques.
The surgery was directly performed by BS CKII Doan Quoc Viet, a Senior Consultant with over 30 years of experience in examining and treating eye pathologies in Ho Chi Minh City. With steady expertise, the doctor combined:
- Phaco Centurion System: A modern surgical machine with powerful aspiration to support the breakdown and removal of damage within the lens.
- Microsurgical Endoscopy Techniques: Allowing access to the deeply embedded rusted foreign body while ensuring no further damage to the eye’s structure.
Two rusted metal pieces were accurately and safely removed by the doctor. Immediately following, a high-quality intraocular lens (IOL) was implanted to restore visual function. Thanks to the seamless coordination between the doctor’s skillful hands and modern equipment, the patient’s vision was saved in time, bringing back hope for his previous life and career.
3. Recovered Vision, Complete Joy After 6 Months of Waiting
Immediately after surgery, Mr. Chieu felt a distinct difference: his eye felt lighter, and the painful sensation was gone. Familiar objects that were previously only blurry shadows began to appear clearer, with his vision improving day by day.
The smile on his face serves as a testament not only to medical success but also to a spiritual rebirth. His story has become a great source of motivation for the entire medical team at Sai Gon Bien Hoa Eye Hospital—those who put their hearts into every case.
