Ocular trauma is a common presentation to emergency departments (ED) [1] and ocular foreign bodies are significant contributors to these ophthalmic emergencies, accounting for 5% of all ophthalmology consultations in the emergency department [2]. Ocular foreign bodies can result in open globe lacerations in the form of intraocular foreign bodies (IOFB) or remain superficial, causing closed globe injuries as extraocular foreign bodies (EOFB) [3]. While closed globe traumas including those caused by EOFBs are less severe than open globe traumas and usually result in better visual outcomes [4], they still represent a significant disease burden in the ED. In the assessment of ocular injuries, visual acuity (VA), despite being subjective due to its physiologic nature remains a reliable indicator of the severity of injury and predictor of visual outcome [5]. The severity of an EOFB is dependent on the location where it is lodged, with the zones of injury determined via the globe opening’s most posterior full-thickness aspect [3].
