Int J Ophthalmol. 2011;4(2):218-9. doi: 10.3980/j.issn.2222-3959.2011.02.25. Epub 2011 Apr 18.

Abstract

This is a case presentation of a very bizarre open globe trauma with anterior segment foreign body-fishing hook stuck in the cornea and iris. Complications due to this kind of eye trauma might be very hazardous and with serious impact on visual function. We are representing our approach and experience of three step management of this kind of eye injury: first-extract the foreign body, close and reconstruct the eyeball, second-fight inflammation, and third-restore the visual function by cataract surgery.

Keywords: anterior segment foreign body; eye trauma; traumatic cataract.
