A large metallic foreign body and two eyelashes were embedded in the retina as a result of penetrating ocular trauma. Following removal of the metallic fragment and one eyelash, the vision in the injured eye has remained 20/20 over a three-year follow-up period in spite of the retention of the second eyelash in the retina. The retained eyelash has provoked no inflammatory reaction.
