N2  - PURPOSE: To describe the ocular surface injury resulting from a microwave superheated liquid. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: A 40-year-old man sustained an ocular surface injury from a microwave superheated liquid. The injury resulted in limbal stem cell damage requiring an autograft limbal stem cell transplantation. CONCLUSIONS: We are unaware of previous reports of microwave superheated liquids resulting in ocular injury. Microwave superheating of liquids is a potential ocular danger that should be brought to the attention of both ophthalmologists and their patients.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
