“…In cut-it-out technique, the primary wound is enlarged and the hook is removed by backing through the same wound. [6][7][8][9][10][11] Fish hooks can also cause perforating injuries to the eye and these can be distinguished by the presence of entry and exit wounds. Management of these cases should be done cautiously to avoid further injury to the delicate ocular tissues as the hook is removed.…”

Fishing is a popular recreational activity. Ocular penetrating fish hook injury is an unusual cause of ocular trauma and is often challenging in management. We are presenting a case report of a 29 year old male who came to our casualty with penetrating corneal injury due to a barbed fish hook while trying to catch fish. Fish hook was seen penetrating through the cornea and iris and the tip was not seen. We enlarged the wound and used foreign body forceps to separate the ocular tissues from the barb of the hook. Knowing the structure of fish hook and its relation to ocular tissues is important for successful removal of fish hook and for a good outcome. 1: The technique for removal of fish hook from eye depends on the relation of the hook to the ocular tissues; 2: Appropriate surgical intervention is necessary for a good outcome

“…In the fishing industry and in sports fishing, injury can occur when fishing hooks, lures, rod tips, or lines accidentally strike the eye [ 161 , 162 , 163 , 164 ]. Any eye structure may be involved with damage ranging from corneal abrasion to penetrating injury to globe rupture.…”

Toxic External Exposure Leading to Ocular Surface Injury

The surface of the eye is directly exposed to the external environment, protected only by a thin tear film, and may therefore be damaged by contact with ambient particulate matter, liquids, aerosols, or vapors. In the workplace or home, the eye is subject to accidental or incidental exposure to cleaning products and pesticides. Organic matter may enter the eye and cause infection. Ocular surface damage can trigger a range of symptoms such as itch, discharge, hyperemia, photophobia, blurred vision, and foreign body sensation. Toxin exposure can be assessed clinically in multiple ways, including via measurement of tear production, slit-lamp examination, corneal staining, and conjunctival staining. At the cellular level, environmental toxins can cause oxidative damage, apoptosis of corneal and conjunctival cells, cell senescence, and impaired motility. Outcomes range from transient and reversible with complete healing to severe and sight-compromising structural changes. Classically, evaluation of tolerance and safety was carried out using live animal testing; however, new in vitro and computer-based, in silico modes are superseding the gold standard Draize test. This review examines how environmental features such as pollutants, temperature, and seasonality affect the ocular surface. Chemical burns to the eye are considered, and approaches to protect the ocular surface are detailed.

Uncommon severe blunt ocular injury associated with large retinal dialysis caused by a fishing sinker

et al. 2021

Introduction. Severe ocular injuries caused by fishing equipment are relatively rare. The visual prognosis for fishing-related injuries depends on the involved ocular structures, the presence of complications, and surgical techniques applied. Case outline. A 40-year-old man reported a sudden severe sharp pain and a loss of vision in his left eye while he was pulling the fishing rod during recreational fishing. At admission, his best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of the left eye was 1/60. Clinical examination revealed a laceration in the temporal quadrant of the bulbar conjunctiva 0.2?0.3 mm in size and a dark tumefaction under the conjunctiva in the same region. It was identified during primary surgical exploration as a fishing sinker 1 cm in size lodged under the lateral rectus muscle. The bulbar wall was intact and the fishing sinker was safely removed. Phacoemulsification with the implantation of an artificial foldable intraocular lens and 23G pars plana vitrectomy were performed. During vitrectomy, subretinal hemorrhage in the macular region and large retinal dialysis in the temporal segment were revealed. Vitrectomy was finished with silicone oil tamponade. One week later, the patient?s BCVA of the left eye was 2/60. Eight months after surgery, spontaneous resorption of subretinal hemorrhage in the macular region and the attached retina was observed. The patient?s BCVA was 3/60 due to the destruction of photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium and the formation of epiretinal membrane. Conclusion. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a severe blunt ocular injury associated with large retinal dialysis caused by a fishing sinker.
