Abstract: We present a 39-year-old patient with a penetrating injury of the cornea and anterior lens capsule containing an intralenticular foreign body. One week after the accident, the patient consulted our emergency unit. Clinical examination showed no Seidel II phenomenon. A femtosecond laser-assisted capsulotomy was performed followed by lens removal and intraocular lens implantation. The capsulotomy diameter was increased to 6.7 mm to include the foreign-body area and the break in the anterior capsule. The procedure was uneventful, and the capsule leaf, including the foreign body, was extracted safely.<br /> (Copyright © 2013 ASCRS and ESCRS. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
