A Left open-globe injury after being hit in the left eye with a sheet metal. It was a 6 mm area 1 wound. Axial CT scan of the eyes shows relative shallow anterior chamber depth (arrow) of the left globe compared to that of the right eye. B Left open-globe injury after being hit in the left eye with metal block. It found to be a 20 mm wound involving area 1 and 2 during suture surgery. Axial CT scan of the eyes shows relative shallow anterior chamber depth of the left globe compared to that of the right eye. The patient was lost follow-up. C Right open-globe injury after hitting on the door. It was a 12 mm area 1 wound. Axial CT scan of the eyes shows the absence of the lens. It was found that both lens and iris were absent during suture surgery. Volume of the globe reduced to about half of normal. Fortunately, there was not massive hemarrhage in the vitreous chamber. After suture surgery, the final visual acuity achieved 0.1 and no further surgery was carried out during over 3 years of follow-up. D Right open-globe injury after being hit in the right eye by an exploding glass bottle. Axial CT scan of the eyes shows the globe is full of massive hemarrhage. It found to be a 25 mm wound involving area 1, 2 and 3 during suture surgery. After suture surgery, the injured eye became phthisical eventually during follow-up. E Left open-globe injury after being hit by exploding fireworks. It found to be a 35 mm wound involving area 1, 2 and 3 during suture surgery. Forty five days later, the injured eye was eviscerated
