1. Review frequently performed ophthalmologic procedures 2. Become aware of the postoperative imaging appearances of the globe and adnexa 3. Become familiar with implanted devices used by ophthalmologists so as to not mistake them for foreign bodies 4. Review the MRI safety profile of these implanted devices 

1. Surgical treatment of glaucoma: trabeculectomy with Ex-PRESS device and glaucoma drainage devices 2. Surgical treatment of retinal detachment: scleral buckling and vitrectomy with gas or silicone oil tamponade 3. Imaging appearance of artificial intraocular lens after cataract treatment 4. Diverse types of orbital implants and their imaging appearances 5. Eyelid weights for facial nerve paralysis 6. Punctal plugs for dry eyes 7. Surgical options for strabismus repair 8. Mimics 

As the orbit is frequently visualized in routine radiologic examinations, postsurgical changes of the globe and adnexa will invariably be encountered. The radiologist’s knowledge of expected imaging findings after orbital interventions and the associated implanted devices can prevent confusion and misdiagnosis, and aid in patient safety.
