Abstract
Two cases are reported in which fragments of copper wire had penetrated the eyeball and remained in it for long periods, after which they migrated forward and came through iris and corneal limbus to be removed from subconjunctival space. A study of the literature reveals that neither the shape nor the material of the foreign body is the determining factor in such migrations. The movement is forward in all cases. Read by title before the American Ophthalmological Society, June 9, 1931.
