Case Discussion
The case illustrates penetrated metallic foreign body within the right eye lens. The ocular lens foreign body is relatively rare and is an ophthalmology emergency. Whenever there is a suspicion of an ocular foreign body MRI is contraindicated because of the probability of a metallic foreign body. One of the major complications of the ocular foreign body is infection.
