【 摘 要 】

Firecracker induced open globe injury is a big challenge for ophthalmic surgeons. Its associationwith the intraocular foreign body makes the diagnosis and treatment even more difficult resultingin poor anatomical and visual outcomes. We report a case of a 35-year-old male who presented withbilateral, multiple corneal and intraocular foreign body due to firecracker explosion. His vision waslimited to hand movement in both eyes. Combined penetrating keratoplasty and cataract surgerywere done in both eyes followed by pars plana vitrectomy for intraocular foreign body removal.The final best-corrected visual acuity of the patient stood to be 6/6 and 6/9 in the right and left eyerespectively. The encouraging result in our case prompts ophthalmologists for a timely stepwisemultidisciplinary approach in all open globe injuries with intraocular foreign body cases havingpoor initial acuity.
