Statement of the problem: Neglected repaired rupture globe for two months on a huge foreign body in the anterior segment of a child age 8 years. Distorted anterior segment with traumatic cataract. The video represent how I tried to remove the foreign body with the least trauma and reconstruct the anterior segment for further implantation of an IOL. Methods: Male child who is 8 years old. History of penetrating trauma to the right eye by gunshot in the last two months. Repaired ruptured globe was done in the past 2 months. The pattern of his iris tissue has changed since the trauma. Vision was barely HM, with good macular function and his projection was fair. IOP was 17 mmHg. Cornea was in a good state with shallow AC and no pupil could be detected. Results: The eye was quiet and Mild SK. Formed AC with ++ flair; Vision was 30 cm second day, reached up to 5 meters on the first week with BCVA 0.2 at 2 weeks. Couldn't see clearly second day, but after one week it was clearly seen. IOP was digitally full.
