Popis: This study describes a 68-year-old man who was presented to the emergency department with left orbital cavity penetration by his eyeglasses. The eyeglasses had entered the orbit and at presentation his eyesight could not be measured. The foreign body was extracted carefully and panfacial bone fractures were then reduced through lateral rhinotomy combined with a lip-splitting incision. When planning removal of an unusual foreign body from the orbital cavity, care should be taken not to injure the optic nerve, periorbital musculatures, or the eyeball.
