ABSTRACT

Introduction: Ocular trauma is a fundamental cause for ophthalmological morbidity worldwide, with important socio-economic implications for the patient and their relatives, since it usually occurs in young adults, with good visual acuity at the beginning of the traumatic event and which will be seen compromised based on trauma seriousness, the affected ocular structures and the complications that may appear; hence, vision loss is one of the most feared handicaps.
Case presentation: Patient with anatomical and functional alterations produced by an ocular trauma in open penetrating globe zone III, and the presence of a vegetal intraocular foreign body, where an early diagnosis and timely surgical behavior were achieved, obtaining excellent visual results.
Conclusions: Ocular trauma in open penetrating globe zone III with vegetal intraocular foreign body, in spite of its difficult management, allows to achieve good visual results. Based on current criteria, this depends on early diagnosis and relevant behavior based on current criteria.
