The inside edge of the foreign body appeared to enter the anterior chamber via completely penetrating the cornea (Fig. 1).
Pre-operative AS-OCT images of the patient's left eye. AS-OCT image shows hyper-reflectivity and shadowing due to the corneal foreign body (Left). AS-OCT image shows that the corneal foreign body did not completely penetrate the cornea (Right)

Fig2
AS-OCT showed shadowing of the corneal layers that corresponded to the location of the foreign body (Fig. 2a). A hyper-reflective lesion was observed quite close to the inside edge of the cornea, indicating that the foreign body did not completely penetrate the cornea (Fig. 2b).
Postoperative slit-lamp biomicroscopy of the patient's left eye shows the cornea beginning to heal with scar tissue formation
