title: [A comment on siderosis bulbi (author's transl)].
abstract: Report on a case of advanced siderosis bulbi. Besides the typical alterations in the anterior segment of the globe, siderotic changes of the retina could be revealed. The ERG showed a reduction of the b-wave. After removal of the foreign body, a partial regression of the siderotic changes took place. In addition, the ERG became normal within 8 weeks postoperatively. The indication for removal of metallic intraocular foreign bodies despite specific alterations of the ERG is emphasized.
