DEVI G GOVINDAFAJAN

Abstract


A 20-years-old lady had an accidental injury with a flying foreign body to her right eye while travelling in the train by sitting near the window. On examination fish hook like foreign body was noted. It penetrated the temporal part of the sclera associated with reduction of vision and hyphaema. In this case, we performed the unusual retrograde technique to remove the hook from the eye successfully without producing more damage to the surrounding structures.
