ABSTRACT
This article describes the case of a 28-year-old man who suffered an optic nerve evulsion (ONE) after falling from a height of 5â¯m. On admission visual acuity in the affected left eye was light perception, direct pupillary reaction was unresponsive, and the eye was hypotonic. Because of deep eyelid laceration, hyphemia and severe vitreous hemorrhage a globe rupture was suspected and a surgical exploration with vitrectomy was performed. This resulted in the detection of an ONE. During the following 24 months a painful eyeball due to secondary glaucoma developed and enucleation of the eye became necessary.
