Abstract

The organ of vision is without any doubt among the most important ones in life for the interaction with our environment, being at the same time fragile and delicate. In this article we present a patient with a decrease in the vision of left eye due to ocular trauma. The existence of a foreign body in the anterior chamber was determined; it evolved during a year and remained asymptomatic. This kind of trauma is more frequent in males.
