Anterior segment examination of the right eye revealed conjunctival injection with temporal paracentral deeply embedded small intracorneal foreign body reaching the endothelium layer with mild edema surrounding it (shown in Fig. 1a1, a2). Anterior segment optical coherence tomography Topcon (AS-OCT) of the cornea was obtained showing the intracorneal foreign body to be deeply embedded, reaching the endothelium layer (shown in Fig. 1b). On the examination, an extensive search was done looking for the foreign body in the anterior chamber and posterior chamber but only a remaining faint scar was found with a quiet eye, no intracorneal foreign body, and completely healed epithelium (shown in Fig. 1c).
