Sclera moving at some velocity. The cushion of orbital fat protects the sclera from head-on blunt forces, but damage from oblique forces striking the eye from the side is not prevented by this cushion.

Sufficiently small objects which become embedded and which are subsequently left untreated may eventually become surrounded by
