On close inspection, tiny metallic particles are visible in all corneal incisions
after cataract surgery (arrows). They appear to occur after passing cannulas or other
instruments through the incisions. The presence of these particles was documented

on the MRI images (Fig. 1D, axial T2) in the plane of the incisions. These particles appear to be innocuous
and do not preclude MRI studies.
