Abstract
Fishing is a good recreational activity as well as an important source of daily income for people around the world. Although it is enjoyable and pleasant, if safety precautions are not undertaken, it can be one of the potential causes for ocular trauma. We report a case of fishhook injury to the eyelid in a pediatric age group. To the best of our knowledge, only handful of cases are published in the literature till date. This case report aims at increasing awareness of young ophthalmologists and all it’s readers about this uncommon presentation and its various methods of management.
