RESUMO
Ocular injuries are one of the major factors for mono-ocular blindness in adult population. Majority of mechanical ocular injuries occurs in factories. Our patient had injury with grinder blade. On examination, vision was no perception of light in right eye, corneoscleral tear along with lens and vitreous in the wound. Ocular trauma score was 1 with chances of visual recovery nil. After primary treatment, when we had taken patient under general anaesthesia, we found whole retina lying over cornea which was a rare event. We excised that tissue and tear repair was done. None of the factors which can lead to expulsive haemorrhage was observed in patient. We have seen many patients with extensive corneoscleral tear but never seen retina coming out of the wound. We recommend to use all protective equipments for workers to prevent industrial ocular injuries.
