Traumatic fracture of contact lens with corneal injury.

There was a partial thickness laceration of the right cornea at the junction of the middle and lower thirds extending in an irregular horizontal line from side to side. From the depth of this laceration the cornea was split to the lower limbus and in the lamellar pocket so formed were embedded multiple fragments of a shattered corneal contact lens. At no point did this lamellar laceration penetrate the full thickness of the cornea. Above this wound and towards the nasal side of the cornea was a smaller, partial thickness laceration of the cornea, also containing fragments of contact lens and again not penetrating the full thickness of the cornea. There was also an irregular conjunctival laceration temporal to the limbus and a small hyphaema. There were also multiple lacerations of the eyelids and face most of which contained fragments of shattered windscreen. The left eye was uninjured.
