  • Title: Removal of a barbed fish hook from the cornea of an 8-year-old boy.
    Author: Kemp PS, Shah AS, Elliott AT, Wan MJ.
    Journal: J AAPOS; 2017 Oct; 21(5):407-407.e1. PubMed ID: 28917995.
    Abstract:
    This video article shows the surgical removal of a three-pronged barbed fish hook from the cornea and anterior chamber of an 8-year-old boy. The advance-and-cut method is shown: the embedded barbed point of the fish hook was advanced through the cornea, its point was cut off, and the shank of the hook was withdrawn. This method was chosen due to the three-pronged configuration of the fish hook to minimize additional trauma to the eye. Other methods of fish hook removal are briefly reviewed.
