P
enetrating eye injury was common in children 0-16 years (42.5%) followed by adult ≤30 years (41.6%). The commonest
cause of penetrating ocular injuries was stick/wood (41.2%).. A 55 years old woman had wood penetrating injury on lower
eyelid. She fell forward on corn stick, accidentally while farming. Visual acuity was 5/20. Head and orbita CT scan and eye
ultrasound was normal. A 3.6 cmwood chip was removed from the wound site, using clamp under retrobulbar anesthesia. After
wound debridement, the orbicularis and skin are closed with 6-0 polyglactin suture. Post operation visual acuity was 5/9 and
improvement in ocular motility restriction. Penetrating or perforating injuries should be evaluated and treated immediately.
Depending on the material causing the injury and location of entry, severe vision loss can occur. Systemic, topical antibiotics
and tetanus toxoid injection was given to reduce the incidence of endophthalmitis, orbital cellulitis or panophthalmitis.
