Ocular foreign bodies may be threat to vision loss. Superficial foreign body present on the conjunctiva or cornea can be easily detected and removed, and may not cause much harm if treated appropriately without delay. Subconjunctival foreign bodies are relatively rare, commonly missed and present as foreign body granuloma, even if they are visible their extent in deeper tissue is difficult to assess. Foreign bodies penetrating the ocular coat can result in partial or full thickness penetration of cornea and sclera with or without involvement of posterior segment. Here we present a case of subconjunctival metallic foreign body embedded in deeper sclera in a 22-year male working in factory. Foreign body was removed carefully under local anaesthesia avoiding further damage to the eye.
