Open Globe Injuries From Garage Door Springs.

Abstract

We describe seven patients who were attempting to repair their garage door when a spring dislodged at high velocity, resulting in open globe injury. All patients were seen at Massachusetts Eye and Ear between the years 2008 and 2023. Their final visual acuities ranged from 20/125 to no light perception. Open globe injury appears to be a risk of attempts to repair a garage door by people who are inexperienced in doing so. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina 2023;54:666-669.].
