This 4-year-old boy was struck in the left eye three days ago by a toy arrow during play.  His vision is OD 20/20, OS bare light perception.  He is otherwise healthy and had perfectly normal ocular health prior to the injury.  Examination reveals a "fluffy" white mass in the anterior chamber.  A small beveled corneal laceration is seen which appears to be self-sealing.

1.	The most likely diagnosis in this case is:
	a. fungal infection in the anterior chamber b. anterior chamber foreign body c. traumatic cataract d.  none of the above
2.	Work up should include:
	a. ultrasound study of the posterior segment b. careful study for evidence of uveal prolapse c. thorough evaluation of the other eye d.  all of the above
3.	Treatment would include:
	a. topical steroids followed by cataract extraction with placement of an intraocular lens b. observation c. repair of the corneal laceration with 10 nylon suture d.  none of the above
