A 60 year old farmer presented on 4th Sept, 2015with progressive diminution of vision in the right eye following trauma while hammering about a month previously. His vision was Hand Movement only in the right eye and 6/6 in left eye. The anterior segment showed normal findings, except mild anterior chamber reaction and an early cataract in the right eye. The left eye was normal except for an early age-related cataract. Fundoscopy revealed retained intra-ocular foreign body (ROOFB, subtotal RD with macula off in right eye. Interestingly, no entry wound was found. A B-scan and CT scan of the brain and orbit confirmed RIOFB and RD. On 9th September 23G PPV was done and RIOFB was removed. Fluid-air exchange, endolaser and silicon oil injection were done to attach the RD. On 6th February 2016 a cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation and silicon oil removal was performed which improved the patient’s vision to 6/18p.
