Abstract
- The aim was to describe the three eyes of three patients with severe firework-related ocular injuries. The three eyes of three patients with firework injuries were studied. All patients were men aged 5, 11, and 31 years. All underwent a complete ocular examination, and two had surgical intervention. Two eyes received surgical treatment. One eye had evisceration, and the other eye had lens aspiration with a posterior chamber intraocular lens. Final visual acuity was no light perception, light perception, and 20/50. Ocular trauma from fireworks can cause a significant ocular morbidity, especially in children. Public health education on the hazards of fireworks is crucial to prevent a permanent visual loss.
