Two healthy males presented on separate occasions to the emergency room after sustaining trauma by air-gun pellets during farmer’s agitation against the government. Clinical examination indicated that the foreign bodies (air-gun pellets) were imbedded in different locations (subconjunctival and subcutaneous in eye lid.). The management of this traumatic injury is discussed and concurs with the published literature.
