摘要

眼损伤是获得性视力障碍的一个重要危险因素,在印度节日期间在儿童和年轻人中很常见。然而,电石枪引起的眼部损伤鲜有报道。目前的手稿描述了来自印度中部的五名年轻男性患者的临床资料和社会人口统计信息,他们在使用从当地供应商购买的没有安全功能的廉价碳化物枪时受伤/使用在线信息在家制造。所有患者均有单眼损伤(眼睑水肿、结膜充血、角膜混浊、角膜缘缺血),视力下降6/36至无光感。不当的处理、容易获得、低成本以及缺乏风险意识导致了事件的发生。因此,建议提高公众的意识,并限制普遍存在的无证销售碳化物枪和原材料的行为。

Vision-threatening ocular injury secondary to calcium carbide gun use in Indian children and young adults: A case series
Ocular injury, a significant risk factor for acquired visual impairment, is common among children and young adults during Indian festivals. However, calcium carbide gun-induced ocular injuries have rarely been reported. The current manuscript describes the clinical profile and sociodemographic information of five young male patients from central India who were injured while using cheap carbide guns with no safety features bought from local vendors/made at home using online information. All patients had monocular injuries (eyelid edema, conjunctival congestion, corneal opacification, and limbal ischemia) with vision loss ranging from 6/36 to no light perception. Improper handling, easy availability, low cost, and lack of awareness of risks contributed to the incident. Therefore, it is recommended that public awareness be generated, and restrictions are imposed on the widespread unlicensed sale of carbide guns and raw materials.
