Ocular Fish Hook Injuries

Engaged both as an occupation and a pastime, fishing boasts widespread popularity across the globe. Sir Isaac Walton eloquently characterized fishing as "the contemplative man's recreation" [1].

Regrettably, fishing-related ocular injuries often go underestimated and underreported as contributors to visual impairment.
