Importance. Ocular penetrating fish-hook injuries represent an unusual and very dangerous ocular trauma. We report the management of an unusual case of a simple-single barbed fish-hook accident globe injury successfully treated with surgery.Observations. We described a case report of a caucasian 32-year-old man presented with a scleral perforation of the left eye caused by a fish-hook injury while fishing. The fish-hook penetrated the sclera, passed the trabecular meshwork, and exited into the anterior chamber. He underwent surgery under local anesthesia to remove the intraocular foreign body and to repair the wound. The hook was removed backing through the entrance wound, enlarge the primary scleral laceration. Final visual outcome, one month after trauma, was 0.0 LogMar.Conclusions and Relevance. Our unusual case shows a modified extraction technique of fish-hook from the eye. Although the fish-hook injury represents generally a serious occurrence, in some cases, a prompt and appropriate method of extraction can lead to a good final outcome.

Background: Fishing is a popular rural recreational activity. Fortunately, penetrating ocular injuries with fish hooks are rare. These injuries are usually caused by fish hook prongs penetrating the ocular tissues. We report a rare case of penetrating fish hook injury to the globe and its successful surgical management.Case: A 12- year-old female child was referred to the causality with a fish hook embedded in her right eye. She sustained the injury while fishing with her father. The fish hook had penetrated the globe obliquely. The hook was removed via its entrance wound under general anesthesia. Subsequently the child developed traumatic cataract which was operated with a final visual outcome of 6/12. Conclusion: Visual prognosis can be profoundly affected by the initial management. Prompt surgical intervention as done in our case is recommended to prevent significant visual loss.

Introduction: Ocular trauma is a major cause of monocular blindness and visual impairment throughout the world. It is estimated that more than 2 million people suffer from ocular trauma annually and 40,000 become visually handicapped permanently. The aim of this study was to evaluate the visual outcome in open globe injury patients. Methods: This study was conducted in Nepal Eye Hospital. All the cases of admitted open globe injuries were examined and managed in the hospital were included in this study. The detail history of trauma and visual acuity was recorded. Clinical diagnosis was made after detail examination of anterior and posterior segment.  Patient was treated according to the type of injury. Visual recovery and the cause of poor vision at the time of discharge was also noted. Data was analyzed using the SPSS 11 program. Results: Out of the 100 cases enrolled in the study work related injury was the most frequent injury, metal was the most common causative agent. Males of 20-50 years of age are more vulnerable to open globe injury. Vision improved in 48%, same vision in 39% and deteriorated vision in 13% cases was recorded. Conclusions: Present study reveals that open globe injury can present in varying severity and though the overall prognosis is grave, prompt surgical intervention can result in better visual outcome. The visual outcome in mild to moderate ocular injury was satisfactory but poor in severe injuries.Medical Journal of Shree Birendra Hospital; July-December 2012/vol.11/Issue2/40-43 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/mjsbh.v11i2.7909

A New Technique

A 38-year-old healthy man presented to our department of ophthalmology after sustaining an ocular injury in a glass explosion more than 10 days prior. A glass intraocular foreign body (IOFB) was found in the left eye. During surgical removal of the IOFB, medical sodium hyaluronate gel was used to detach the IOFB from the retina; this avoided damage to the retina and made it easier for the surgeons to grasp the glass fragment. Multiple surgical instruments have been developed to help remove IOFBs; however, many optic hospitals have limited surgical instruments, thus increasing the difficulty of the operation. The application of sodium hyaluronate gel, a widely used agent, may be a new technique in IOFB surgery.
