We present a case of diagnostic and surgical management in an amblyopic eye following penetrating trauma in childhood. The 75-year-old female patient experienced the trauma at the age of 4. The eye was amblyopic, but after thorough investigations (ultrasonography, ultrabiomicroscopy, visual evoked potentials) the eye underwent anterior segment reconstruction. Visual evoked potentials allowed us to assess optic nerve function, while ultrabiomicroscopy allowed us to plan the surgical procedure. Although we observed quite a small visual acuity improvement, the subjective improvement reported by the patient was fairly significant (NEI VFQ-25 questionnaire). The cosmetic effect of the black pupil was also important.
