Visual outcomes for patients with ocular trauma due to blast injuries vary, and prognoses depend upon the type of injury sustained.

BEIRUT — An eye doctor in Lebanon said he has treated some 40 to 50 people with serious injuries, including some who lost both eyes, after a wave of communication device explosions targeted ...

Pennsylvania reported 27 cases of objects becoming projectiles in the MRI environment between 2004 and 2008. [20] There have been incidents of injury and death.
