Subconjunctival foreign body mimicking uveal tissue prolapse

Subconjunctival foreign body is a foreign object that gets embedded beneath the conjunctiva. As the conjunctiva is a thin and transparent tissue, it is more prone to foreign body penetration, even with trivial trauma. In a suspected case of subconjunctival foreign body, we should exclude open globe injuries by doing Seidel’s test. We present a case of 3 year old child who presented with subconjunctival metallic foreign body, which was mimicking uveal tissue prolapse.
