N2 - Traumatic injuries are a worldwide major cause of blindness and ocular morbidity. We report a series of four cases of fishing-related ocular trauma from the Pacific Northwest demonstrating the varied presentation and visual consequences of these injuries, including open and closed globe injuries, retained foreign bodies and retinal and subretinal hemorrhage. More efforts are needed to increase awareness and use of preventative measures.
