Abstract
A 64-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic complaining of pain in his left eye. Three years ago, the patient was hit in the left eye by a metal object during an in-car bomb explosion. The patient had a giant anterior staphyloma in his left eye that prevented the eyelids from closing. In the shiotz tonometer measurement, the left intraocular pressure was 26 mmHg. In computed tomography, the distance between the staphyloma endpoint and the lens was 7.17 mm. After open glob trauma, patients should be checked at short intervals for regular follow-up for ocular surface infections. The ophthalmologist responsible for the patient should regularly assess the patient's compliance with the drug and the eye's response to the drug. Early surgery should be applied if necessary to prevent staphyloma and similar eye complications.
