Intraocular BB pellet injuries are a devastating form of ocular trauma with a poor prognosis. The penetration of the eye by the pellet causes a marked disruption of the intraocular contents that in most cases leads to enucleation. ⋯ Eighteen months after the injury the acuity in the affected eye was 20/30 with a contact lens. To our knowledge this is the first case in which useful vision has been recovered in this type of injury.
