钴是一种广泛应用于工业生产的硬质合金。据报道，摄入钴会引起广泛的全身毒性，但其对视力的影响的报道很少。提交人报告了一名患者服用了牛磁铁的情况，这种磁铁在他的胃里停留了一段未知的时间。这些磁铁主要由钴组成，逐渐渗入他的血液中，导致多变的全身表现，其中包括视神经萎缩。
Cobalt is a widely used in the industrial production of hard metals. Cobalt ingestion has been reported to cause widespread systemic toxicity, but its effects on vision have been sparsely reported. The authors report the case of a patient who ingested cattle magnets, which remained in his stomach for an unknown duration of time. These magnets largely consist of cobalt that gradually leached into his blood stream, resulting in protean systemic manifestations, which included optic atrophy.
