A 15-year-old female, with previous ocular trauma, presented with a complaint of whitish discoloration in her right eye since childhood. Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/40 in the right eye. Slit-lamp examination revealed an adherent leukoma along with brown-colored cilia suspended in the anterior chamber [Figure 1]. The anterior chamber was quiet. The crystalline lens was clear, and fundus was unremarkable. Glasses were prescribed and no surgical intervention was attempted.{Figure 1}

The presence of intraocular cilia following penetrating injury is extremely rare.[1] In the absence of intraocular infection, they remain in the eye for several years without causing any harm.[2]
