Results and discussion
- Clinical signs:
- A case report describes severe ocular burns following the explosion of an acetylene lamp projecting calcium carbice particles into the eye. Both the cornea and conjunctiva were affected with recovery taking several months. The burns were considered due to the local formation of "lime"
