Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Fishing is a popular recreational activity.
  • Ocular fishing injuries, though infrequent, can lead to severe visual impairment.
  • Fish hook removal presents unique surgical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on 21 cases of penetrating eye injuries caused by fish hooks.
  • To detail successful surgical interventions for managing these injuries.
  • To clarify terminology related to fish hook components and extraction techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of patients with fish hook injuries treated at tertiary eye care centers in South India from 2003 to 2023.
  • Evaluation of all medical records from emergency department attendances.
  • This represents the longest and largest study of its kind in India.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-one cases of ocular fish hook injuries were analyzed (ages 9-59, 90.4% male).
  • The majority (80.9%) were penetrating injuries; 14.3% were blunt trauma; 4.8% involved lid laceration.
  • Post-operative visual acuity varied, with 33.3% achieving 20/20 to 20/40, while 28.6% had poor outcomes (including no light perception).

Conclusions:

  • Ocular fish hook injuries are complex and require specialized surgical management.
  • Understanding fish hook anatomy and employing appropriate extraction methods are crucial for minimizing ocular trauma.
  • Tailored surgical approaches are essential for achieving optimal visual outcomes in these cases.
