Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) are severe complications of open-globe injuries and may lead to irreversible visual impairment. Early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention are essential to reduce complications, particularly endophthalmitis. We report a 25-year-old man presenting four days after ocular trauma caused by a vegetal agent. Slit-lamp examination revealed an IOFB incarcerated within the iridocorneal angle. Surgical extraction using viscoelastic-assisted mobilization and capsulorhexis forceps resulted in complete visual recovery (10/10). This case highlights that favorable outcomes may still be achieved despite delayed presentation when prognostic factors are favorable.
