PURPOSE: To report a case of autoenucleation associated with contralateral field defect. DESIGN: Observational case report. METHODS: A 36-year-old man was referred to the emergency ward with his right eye attached to a fork. His history revealed drug abuse with ecstasy. RESULTS: Visual field examination revealed a temporal hemianopia on the left eye. There was no change in the visual field defect after intravenous steroid, two months after initial presentation. CONCLUSIONS: Contralateral visual field defect may be associated with autoenucleation. A visual field test is recommended in all cases with traumatic enucleation.
