  • Title: Blunt ocular trauma secondary to "war games".
    Author: Mamalis N, Monson MC, Farnsworth ST, White GL.
    Journal: Ann Ophthalmol; 1990 Nov; 22(11):416-8. PubMed ID: 2264663.
    Abstract:
    "War games" are gaining popularity in the western United States. These recreational contests involve members of one team attempting to shoot their opponents with high-velocity dye or paint pellets fired from air guns. Unfortunately, serious eye injuries occur when participants do not use protective eye wear. We report a case of severe blunt ocular trauma resulting in a hyphema, choroidal rupture, and retinal and vitreal hemorrhage secondary to a paint pellet striking an unprotected eye. This injury resulted in a significant visual defect in this patient.
