A Complication of Ocular Shotgun Injury

Jerry G. Ford; Charles C. Barr, MD

Arch Ophthalmol. 1990;108(1):48-50.

Abstract
• In three patients who had double-perforating ocular shotgun injuries, a single lead shotgun pellet apparently fragmented after striking the eye, resulting in two separate intraocular impact sites. The importance of detecting double-perforating eye injury and becoming aware of this potential complication with ocular shotgun injuries is emphasized.
