Ocular Charring from Molten Metal
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF MEDICAL COLLEGE CHANDIGARH - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
We report a case of a patient with severe ocular burns due to molten iron while working in a factory. The heat-retaining capacity of the heavy metal, heat of the molten metal at impact and the duration of exposure determine the outcome. Our patient had to undergo an enucleation due to extensive charring of the globe.
