The injury resulted in limbal stem cell damage requiring an autograft limbal stem cell transplantation. 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.
