title: Ocular injury secondary to sheep bile exposure.
abstract: A 57-year-old abattoir worker was seen at a general practitioner after sheep bile splashed into his left eye. Flourescein examination revealed extensive ulceration involving at least two-thirds of the corneal surface. Copious irrigation with normal saline, application of chloramphenicol ointment and an eye patch resulted in excellent healing within 2&emsp14;days with return to normal vision for the patient thereafter.
