Abstract

Retained foreign bodies account for a small but significant number of ocular trauma cases in ophthalmologic practice. This type of injury may occur in occupational context and can cause various complications in early or late stages of injury. We report an unusual case of urad dal seed (Vigna mungo) trapped in the upper conjunctival fornix for about three months. This article illustrates the importance of careful examination of upper fornix after everting upper lid in patients of refractory chronic conjunctivitis.
