ABSTRACT

Foreign bodies are the second most common form of corneal trauma. They can be superficial or intracorneal. A case of a patient was presented, with retained intracorneal foreign bodies of 34 years of secondary evolution due to blast wave trauma. The objective is to show the clinical findings and results of diagnostic tests such as corneal confocal microscopy, corneal wavefront topography and specular microscopy. The presence of intracorneal foreign bodies in this patient provoked responses in the corneal tissue depending on its composition, depth level; evident in spite of retention time. The presence of intracorneal foreign bodies induces high levels of corneal aberrations depending on the degree of involvement.
