Intraorbital foreign bodies (IOFBs) are usually accompanied by notable skin wounds and/or ocular wounds, and often there is a clear history of a penetrating object. We report herein on a patient who had an asymptomatic IOFB for 30 years. To the best of our knowledge, there is only one other case of a patient with an IOFB for a longer asymptomatic period after the injury. IOFBs may be overlooked because a small penetrating wound may be accompanied by no signs of inflammation for many decades as in this patient's clinical course.
