A 35-year-old man was referred to the hospital with an eye injury in which one prong of a double prong fishhook had stabbed through the upper eyelid and cornea and was embedded in the temporal area of the right eyeball (Fig. 1a). Under general anesthesia, the hook shank was firmly grasped and a wire cutter was inserted beneath the upper lid, above the cornea, to cut the bend of the fishhook (Fig. 1b). The proximal part of the fishhook was removed backward through the entry wound of the upper eyelid and it was, then, possible to open the eyelid fully (Fig. 1c). The appearance of the fishhook is shown in Figure 1d.
