Penetrating trauma is one of the common causes of ocular morbidity world wide. Violation of the globe integrity, also known as a ruptured globe is an ocular emergency that universally threatens vision. Prompt recognition and management is prudent. Here we report a case of a 26-year-old-female, university teacher, who presented with pain and sudden loss of vision in the left eye of 2 h duration subsequent to a test tube blast in the chemical laboratory. Examinations revealed a ruptured globe with vitreous haemorrhage and an intraocular glass foreign body in the left eye. Primary repair was done with good post operative visual recovery. We report this case to emphasize that protective measures should be taken to prevent such eye traumas.
