description 45-year-old male patient was referred to our hospital with suspicion of foreign body in the right eye. It was learned that a metal burr entered his right eye 2 days ago. Best-corrected visual acuity in the right eye was 9/10. Biomicroscopic examination showed a 2-mm fullthickness corneal incision in the lower paracentral cornea. Defect on the iris corresponding to the incision line drew our attention. Seidel test was negative. After dilatation, the anterior lens capsule and fundus examinations were performed and were normal. The presence of intraocular foreign body (IOFB) was suspected and it was detected in the lower quadrant of the iridocorneal angle by gonioscopy. Emergency surgery was performed and IOFB was extracted. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2013; 43: 278-81)
