We examined a male patient with multiple corneal and conjunctival foreign bodies. The composition of the material seemed not to be toxic due to the non-inflammatory, calm appearance of the eye and the asymptomatic course. Therefore, the removal of the foreign bodies was not necessary. Currently, the patient remains asymptomatic.
