Purpose:
To report the severity of ocular injury in three adults with blunt ocular trauma resulting from elastic corded coat toggles.
Design:
Observational case series.
Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed the case records of all patients (n=3) with blunt ocular trauma secondary to elastic corded coat toggles that presented to our department.
Results:
Injuries included traumatic hyphaema, cataract, angle recession, vitreous haemorrhage and retinal tears.
Conclusions:
Significant ocular injury can result from elasticated coat toggles. The general ophthalmologist should be aware of this new method of potentially sight threatening trauma.
