Penetrating eye injuries are common preventable causes of visual impairment and visual loss. Many eye injuries are related to particular occupations and certain cultures. Chorioretinitis sclopetaria is a rare ophthalmic finding in trauma. We report of a 22-year-old male patient, who suffered a gunshot wound that passed behind his eyes and developed scleral necrosis and uveal fibrosis from sclopetaria induced by indirect trauma.
