title: Intralenticular foreign body: a D-Day reminder.
abstract: Intralenticular foreign bodies are not uncommon after penetrating eye injuries. This is an observational case report where a patient was found to have an embedded lenticular foreign body for more than 60 years. Following such a long period of time the patient has not experienced any significant cataract formation or compromised ocular function due to the foreign body.
