Monkey is highly adaptable live in varying landscape settings to different habitats include the tropical rainforests and also inhabit villages and towns in cities in Southeast Asia. Eye Trauma caused by Monkey Bites is rare often in a zoo, public park for tourists. This case is one of the cases that we met in emergency eye injury at the provincial hospital in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. A woman when approaching a common squirrel monkey that bit at her face immediately caused an eye trauma with laceration of upper lid and eyeball. This eye trauma patient that had been treated and follow-up after 20 years with good vision as well as good quality of life was reported. Eye trauma due to monkey bites causes avoidable blindness and the public should guard against it. People need to pay attention when closing the domestic monkey to avoid unfortunate accidents as well as should not keep the wild animal.
