To Treat or not to Treat? Multiple Asymptomatic Intracorneal and Subconjunctival Gunpowder Foreign Bodies

##article.abstract##

Examinamos a un paciente masculino con múltiples cuerpos extraños corneales y conjuntivales. La composición del material no parece ser tóxica debido a la apariencia tranquila y no inflamatoria del ojo, y al curso asintomático. Por tanto, no fue necesaria la extracción de los cuerpos extraños. Actualmente, el paciente permanece asintomático.
