The<br>conjunctival fornices are potential sites of impaction. We report a case of a 9-month infant boy who was referred to us for a persistent lower lid swelling for one month. He had already been to an eye specialist before presenting to us. Upon examination, a round, pink coloured, toy cart-wheel came out of his lower eye lid of the right eye. Surprisingly, there was no associated conjunctival or adnexal damage. The authors wish to emphasize the importance of taking a thorough history and adequate general physical examination. A missing part of a toy, elucidated on history, should always raise the suspicion among parents and/or care givers for a probable foreign body in infants and children.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Pakistan Journal of Ophthalmology}, author={Nasir, Javeria and Javed, Anum and Arshad, Owais and Chatni, Mohammad Hanif`}, year={2020}, month={May} }
