Abstract
A retrospective study of 20 cases of perforating ocular injuries due to shotgun pellets revealed visual acuity of hand motions or worse in 85%. Massive persistent vitreous hemorrhage was present in 75%. Double perforation of the globe was present in 60% of the involved eyes. Product safety measures are recommended.Keywords
