Abstract
We have reviewed 19 patients with dart-induced perforating eye injuries. Fourteen of the injuries were in childhood. A poor visual outcome was common, not only from the injury directly but also from irreversible amblyopia or endophthalmitis. Preventive measures are considered.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
