Abstract
A 36-year-old man presented with a corneal penetrating fishhook injury with the tip embedded in the inferior anterior chamber angle of the eye. Complete removal was achieved with extension of the wound at the limbus using the "cut-out" technique. Intraocular fishhook injuries are common in fishing communities and effective surgical removal may involve modified techniques previously described for skin or mucosal tissue.Entities:
