Fishing is a popular rural recreational activity. Penetrating fish hook eye injuries are luckily rare. These injuries are normally created by fish hook pointed tip or prongs which penetrating the ocular tissues. We report a three pediatric cases of penetrating fish hook injury to the eyelid and globe. We explained here a successful surgical technique of hook removal. When hook was embedded in ocular tissue, its management should be careful. A detail examination of eye structures must be done post operatively. Cases and observations: Case 1: A 7 years old male child from Jaleshwar district suffered a penetrating fishhook injury in right upper eyelid. Extraction was performed under local anesthesia using backout method with good satisfactory outcome Case 2: A 11 years old female patient came with left eye upper eyelid margin embedded with barbed fish hook. We removed a hook with cut it out method with good post-operative cosmesis. Case 3: A 10 years old male child came to emergency room with embedded fish hook obliquely in his right eye superior temporal conjunctival fornix area (adnexa). We removed that hook with advance and cut technique under local anesthesia. Conclusion: Fish hook eye injury is an ocular emergency. Immediate treatment is required for such cases. In our case series we removed fish hook by three different techniques with no visual morbidity. The visual status for such eye injury is related with different parameters like shape, size, anatomical site as well as different technique of hook removal.
