Keywords:

Eye is the vital organ of the body and has been an area of interest in forensic scenario, eye can also act as a valuable forensic evidence as it can primarily aid in the postmortem interval estimation, therefore assists in identifying time since death. Moreover, the secretion from eye that is tears and eye wears also play major role in crime investigation. This review has aimed to highlight the scope and breadth of research into the field of forensic ophthalmology. We have discussed the current aspects which are existing in this discipline and also the imperative avenues for future perspectives.
