Bungee cords can cause severe eye injuries, including corneal abrasion and retinal detachment. Use these cords with caution to prevent serious ocular trauma.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Bungee cords are popular recreational items.
  • Their elastic nature poses a risk of sudden forceful impact.

Observation:

  • This study details four cases of ocular trauma linked to bungee cord use.
  • Patients presented with severe contusion injuries to the eye.

Findings:

  • Injuries included corneal abrasion, hyphema, iridodialysis, angle recession, glaucoma, lens subluxation, vitreous hemorrhage, and retinal detachment.
  • Three of the four affected eyes necessitated surgical intervention.
  • All patients exhibited anterior chamber angle recession and required ongoing eye care.

Implications:

  • Bungee cords are a significant cause of severe ocular injury.
