Traumatic open globe injuries are a leading cause of blindness/visual impairment in the world. A significant number of reported open globe injuries occur at the workplace and have been historically associated with non-compliance with workplace safety guidelines and not wearing eye related personal protective equipment (PPE). In this case report, we describe a 27-year-old man’s workplace related open globe injury despite wearing PPE. We explore the prognostic factors in determining final visual acuity and do a literature review of case reports with good outcomes despite poor initial prognostication in severe open globe injuries. The option of enucleation and its common indications are discussed. We also examine the factors determining patient satisfaction with ocular prosthesis along with an assessment of the role of PPEs in workplace related ocular trauma.
