Abstract

In three patients who had double-perforating ocular shotgun injuries, a single lead shotgun pellet apparently fragmented after striking the eye, resulting in two separate intraocular impact sites. The importance of detecting double-perforating eye injury and becoming aware of this potential complication with ocular shotgun injuries is emphasized.
