%X Twelve male patients with pellet-gun eye injuries are presented. Most were young teenagers. Six patients had a significant loss of vision due to retinal injury, and in one of these cases the eye was enucleated. The injuries ranged in severity from contusion with a small hyphema to rupture of the globe with uveal prolapse, retinal hemorrhage and detachment, optic nerve contusion, glaucoma and intracranial penetration.
