Abstract
We aimed to point out a case, first in the literature, of the removal of a fish hook from cornea with no need for corneal suturation via a spesific instrument. The case was operated under general anestesia for the removal of the fish hook from cornea by cutting the distal part of the fish hook by a wire cutter. Fish hook from cornea was removed successfully by the help of wire cutter with no need for suturation. Isolated penetrating corneal injury caused by a fish-hook is rare but possible in fishing activities. In the case we publish, cutting the distal part of the hook by spesific instrument provided no fragmentation of cornea or no need for suturation, after removal of fish hook from cornea. In the literature, the case we present is the first case which has not needed any suturation after removal of the fish hook from cornea.
