“…1 This was probably secondary to the relative rarity of these types of injuries combined with the impression that persons wearing even conventional crown-glass eyewear were less likely to experience ocular injury than those not wearing glasses. 2 Most lenses manufactured at that time were glass, and case reports of ocular injury from shattered lens fragments were relatively common. [2][3][4] The growing body of literature eventually led to a federal mandate of impact-resistance standards for ophthalmic lenses in 1971.…”

“…Glass is reported to be one of the most common causes of open globe injuries in children; together with knives, and scissors account for 34.4% of injuries [7]. Keeney et al reviewed 42 patients with spectacle glass injury: 6 were occupational, 4 were sportsrelated, and 9 were due to assaults [3]. Kaufman reported eleven cases of injury due to glass fragments in a study that reviewed 1107 cases of industrial injuries.…”

“…Spectacle-related ocular trauma is commonly associated with sports activities, assaults and occupational injuries [1][2][3]. "In one study of 446 cases of penetrating ocular injury occurring over a ten-year period, sixteen injuries (3.6%) were due to spectacles; 40% of these were adult male nonprofessional athletes" [4].…”

Spectacle-related glass foreign body eye injury is commonly associated with sports activities and a significant contributor to penetrating eye injury. Optically clear glass particles may easily be missed during the examination. We present a case of intrastromal glass foreign body embedded in superficial layers of corneal stroma associated with sports-related spectacle injury in a 21-year male. There were multiple superficial lacerations and multiple small glass fragments on the surface of the cornea. After the removal of glass fragments under a slit lamp, the eye was washed thoroughly and patched with antibiotic and cycloplegic eye drops for twenty-four hours. However, the next day we could detect a small intrastromal glass fragment in the superficial layers of the corneal stroma under slit-lamp examination with high magnification. A small piece of glass (1mm in length) was removed under topical anaesthesia.

“…1 Glass is generally thought to be biologically inert, and it is believed that it can remain in the cornea for long periods without eliciting a pathologic response. Occasionally, small pieces of glass will extrude spontaneously.…”

A 65-year-old man involved in a motor vehicle accident presented with bilateral upper lid lacerations and a right corneal laceration. The patient underwent bilateral upper lid laceration repair and removal of intracorneal glass fragments in the right eye greater than in the left eye. Three months later, the patient was referred for a second opinion regarding blurry vision of the right eye and intracorneal glass. Visual acuity in the right eye was 20/80 with no improvement with pinhole. A slitlamp examination showed a healed lamellar flap with glass particles trapped in the flap of the right eye (Figures 1 and 2). Dilated fundus examination was unremarkable for each eye. The consultant recommended a rigid contact lens trial for the right eye before considering further surgery. At the contact lens evaluation, the best-corrected visual acuity of the right eye was 20/80 with spectacles. Corneal topography showed significant irregular astigmatism in the right eye with simulated keratometry readings of 47.75D ϫ126 and 45.75D ϫ116 (Figure 3). At the trial fitting, visual acuity with a rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lens in place was 20/20 Ϫ2 with good centration and movement of the lens. Approximately 1 year after the initial fitting, the patient returned for follow-up. On this visit, visual acuity without correction was 20/40 in the right eye, and best-corrected visual acuity with spectacles had improved to 20/25. Slitlamp examination showed a healed lamellar flap with fewer glass particles ( Figure 4). In the interim, the patient had self-discontinued the rigid gas-permeable lens because of the improved vision.
