Intra-Stromal Corneal Foreign Bodies

Intra-Stromal Corneal Foreign Bodies
This patient was treated for an intrastromal corneal foreign body (from scrap metal). In follow-up, when the eye was asymptomatic, highly reflective particles could be seen intrastromally. Presumably they are caused by sand particles which were introduced together with the foreign body.
