An intralenticular foreign body with associated squamous epithelium was found incidentally at cataract extraction in a 61-year-old man 23 years after a penetrating injury. The squamous epithelium produced no adverse effects. To our knowledge this is the first report of persistence of surface squamous epithelium within the lens.
