Unusual Presentation of an Intraocular Foreign Body Retained for Sixty Years

Abstract

Intraocular foreign bodies may remain quiescent for many years particularly if they are not metallic. We report a case of a missed intraocular stone foreign body that had remained asymptomatic underneath the iris for 60 years and appeared during cataract surgery.
