Cut-it-out technique for ocular fish-hook injury

摘要

An 11-year-old boy was involved in an injury with a fish-hook to his eye. The hook had impaled itself to the cornea and deeper structures. There was associated corneal edema and hyphema, making visualization difficult. In this case, we performed the unusual “cut-it-out” technique to remove the hook from the eye.Keywords: Eye injury, fish-hook injuries, trauma
