Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Eyelid injuries from fish hooks are uncommon.
  • Prompt management is crucial to prevent further damage.

Observation:

  • A 25-year-old male presented with a fish-hook embedded in his upper eyelid.
  • The injury was assessed for ocular and adnexal structures.

Findings:

  • The fish hook was successfully removed using the back-out technique under local anesthesia.
  • No immediate postoperative complications, such as vision impairment or infection, were noted.

Implications:

  • The back-out method is a viable and effective technique for fish-hook eyelid injuries.
  • This approach minimizes tissue damage and preserves visual function when significant ocular injury is absent.
