“…The corneal scar and glass FB were found to be stable with no migration or inflammatory reaction. AS-OCT images at 4 years post-injury showed the FB to be stationary at a distance of 214 and 253 mm from the epithelial and endothelial surfaces, respectively" [15].…”

Spectacle-related glass foreign body eye injury is commonly associated with sports activities and a significant contributor to penetrating eye injury. Optically clear glass particles may easily be missed during the examination. We present a case of intrastromal glass foreign body embedded in superficial layers of corneal stroma associated with sports-related spectacle injury in a 21-year male. There were multiple superficial lacerations and multiple small glass fragments on the surface of the cornea. After the removal of glass fragments under a slit lamp, the eye was washed thoroughly and patched with antibiotic and cycloplegic eye drops for twenty-four hours. However, the next day we could detect a small intrastromal glass fragment in the superficial layers of the corneal stroma under slit-lamp examination with high magnification. A small piece of glass (1mm in length) was removed under topical anaesthesia.

“…Glass being inert can be retained intraocularly for years without causing any symptoms. [ 33 34 35 ] However, in cases of endothelial cell loss, indentation of the endothelium, or posterior corneal astigmatism, it can be removed. [ 36 37 ] Glass FBs in case-1 caused chronic endothelial insult due to mechanical irritation, causing sectoral corneal edema and decreased BCVA, which reversed on FB removal.…”

Purpose: To report anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) characteristics of different types of corneal and anterior chamber (AC) foreign bodies (FBs) and their usefulness in diagnosis and management. Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive clinical study involving 11 eyes of 11 patients who presented at the outpatient department of a tertiary ophthalmic care center from January 2017 to January 2022. All patients had a diagnosed or suspected corneal FB. All participants underwent a comprehensive ophthalmological examination, followed by slit-lamp photography and ASOCT. FB removal was done where required by an external, internal, or combined approach. Results: The mean age of patients was 28.2 (7–53) years. Ten were male, and one was female. Seven patients had a definitive positive history of injury; in one, there was a history suggestive of trauma, one had the post-operative complication of scleral buckling surgery, and two patients had a history of insect fall in the eyes. Three patients had acute, four had sub-acute, and four had chronic presentations. Descemet’s membrane (DM) breach was suspected in three cases of deep FB, which was later confirmed on ASOCT. In two cases, DM was presumed to be intact clinically, but ASOCT showed an AC penetration. The FB was removed in seven patients, one via slit-lamp, one via an external approach, two via an internal approach, and three via a combined approach. Conclusion: ASOCT facilitates non-invasive rapid imaging of ocular tissue at various depths, provides an accurate assessment of FB characteristics, and thereby serves as an additional tool in our armamentarium for diagnosis and management of deep corneal and AC FBs.
