The analysis of 210 patients with penetrating eye injuries was performed. The age of the majority of injured was 20-30 (40%). Most injuries were caused by explosive devices (80%). Entering wounds were found on the cornea in 66.19%, on the sclera in 21.42% and on the limbus in 12.38% of the cases. Traumatic cataract was found in 45.72%, hemophthalmus in 53.33%, detachment of the retina in 40%, intrabulbar foreign body in 51.42%, prolapse of the iris and uvea in 36.19%, and endophthalmitis and hypopyon in 11.42% of the cases. Visual acuity after the operation was more than 0.10 in 37.89% of the cases. The basic principles of the treatment of penetrating eye war injuries were discussed.

There are cases in which the presence of a foreign body (FB) is difficult to diagnose based on history taking or clinical examination. We report a case of subconjunctival FB confused with uveal prolapse. A 68-year-old man, who had the history of pterygium excision in his right eye, complained of irritation and congestion in that same eye. He also had the history of growing vegetables in a plastic greenhouse. It seemed to be a suspected uveal mass bulging through a focal scleral thinning site. On the basis of slit-lamp magnification, the lesion was presumed to be a hard and black keratinized mass embedded under the conjunctiva. Histopathologically, the removed mass was revealed to be a seed of the dicotyledones. Patients who show signs of prolapsed uvea or scleral thinning, possibility of a subconjunctival FB should be considered as differential diagnosis. In addition, a removed unknown FB should be examined histopathologically.

Orbital implant exposure may be the most common complication after evisceration surgery with orbital implantation. Management of implant exposure is a vital issue for oculoplastic surgeons. We present the case of a patient with nontraumatic eyeball rupture receiving dermis-fat graft after early implant exposure. The present case with multiple penetrating keratoplasty history underwent emergent evisceration and silicon sphere implantation due to nontraumatic eyeball rupture with severe uvea prolapse. The surrounding corneal tissue of the rupture aperture was almost unidentified before the operation. Deep superior sulcus syndrome and orbital implant exposure developed 2 months after the operation; hence, orbital reconstruction and dermis-fat graft transplantation were performed. Orbital reconstruction and orbital implant exposure management are discussed in the content.
