Summary

Ocular fish-hook injuries can achieve good visual outcomes with prompt surgical repair and the less-published back-out extraction method. This technique offers a viable option for managing penetrating eye injuries from fish hooks.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Penetrating ocular injuries pose a significant risk to vision.
  • Fish-hook injuries are a less common but potentially severe cause of ocular trauma.

Observation:

  • Four cases of penetrating ocular injuries caused by fish hooks were reviewed.
  • Patients ranged in age from 9 to 67 years, all male.
  • All injuries involved the anterior segment of the eye.

Findings:

  • Fish hooks were successfully extracted using the 'back-out' method through the primary incision.
  • All patients achieved a final visual acuity of 6/12 or better.

Implications:

  • The 'back-out' method is a viable and effective technique for fish-hook extraction in ocular injuries.
