Eye trauma is a common cause of visual impairment, mainly of monocular blindness in 33 to 40% of cases. The case of a 40 years old female patient of rural origin, who attended Ophthalmology consultation at the Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima General University Hospital because of blurry vision in her right eye three months after a trauma, is presented. An accurate medical record, ophthalmologic examination and appropriate diagnostic methods allowed identifying an intraocular foreign body. The patient underwent surgery and evolved favorably. Her best corrected visual acuity is 0.7 in the right eye and 1.0 in the left eye.
