A 29-year-old African American man presented to the emergency department at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences with a fishhook perforating the cornea of the left eye (OS) extending into the anterior chamber. The fishhook was removed via its entrance wound and was subsequently repaired. Fishhook injuries to the eye can result in profound visual impairment. Management of these injuries is dependent on the involved ocular structures and location of the hook. Visual prognosis can be profoundly affected by the initial management. Surgical management options are reviewed.
