Abstract

A 7-year-old boy presented to the emergency department (ED) with acute onset of left eye pain and blurry vision after accidentally shooting himself in the left eye with a Nerf gun. His examination was notable for an abnormal appearance of the left eye (Figure 1). There was no periorbital swelling, and extraocular movements were intact without diplopia. Visual acuity was 20/20 in the right eye and 20/40 in the left eye. He was diagnosed with traumatic hyphema. The patient was initially discharged from the ED and treated as an outpatient with cyclopentolate drops, timolol drops, and prednisolone acetate drops.
