A 3-year-old boy suffered a penetrating orbital pencil injury in the right upper eyelid. Examination showed no signs of globe perforation, fractures, or neurologic deficits. The pencil was removed with controlled and slow motion. Visual acuity was 20/20 and anterior and posterior segment findings were normal 2 months after the injury.
