“…Only a few cases of DM rupture secondary to blunt trauma without foreign bodies have been reported previously. 6 , 7 , 8 One case of DM rupture was reported due to blunt trauma from a high-pressure water jet injury directly to the eye. 7 The patient presented with a large 7 mm corneal epithelial defect, stromal edema, and DM rupture.…”

“… 3 Blunt ocular trauma without foreign bodies is also a rare cause of DM injury or rupture, which has been shown to present with corneal edema. 6 , 7 , 8 In this report, we present a case of corneal edema and micro-ruptures of the central DM, as well as hyphema and vitreous hemorrhage, associated with a firearm bullet passing close to the cornea. The mechanism of injury in our case is likely primary blast injury related to a shockwave generated by a gunshot that potentially grazed the temporal conjunctiva and the bridge of the patient's nose, passing in front of the cornea without making contact with it.…”

“…Je-li proud vody zacílen přímo na oko, může způsobit kontuzi oka i rupturu očního bulbu [10]. V případě kontuze byly popsány ruptura Descemetovy membrány [11], hyphaema [6,7,8,11], dilatace zornice [6,7,11], obrna akomodace [6,7], subluxace čočky a prolaps sklivce [8], hemoftalmus [8], retinální i subretinální krvácení, nekróza sítnice, avulze baze sklivce a vznik obrovské sítnicové trhliny [1], traumatická makulární díra s počínajícím odchlípením sítnice [8] i následný vznik traumatické katarakty [11]. Konečná tíže postižení závisí na mono či bilateralitě postižení, rozsahu postižení sítnice a zrakového nervu a případné infekci patogeny z vodního zdroje [5], nebo zavlečení částic schopných způsobit granulomy [3].…”

Purpose: The aim is a report of a case of bilateral eye injury with bilateral blowout fracture caused by a high-pressure water jet from a fire hose in 16-years old girl during a competition for young fire fighters. Methods: We present a case report of a 16-years old female patient presenting with bilateral extensive eyelid contusion, oedema and lacerations of upper eyelids, lacerations of bulbar conjunctiva, contusion of both eyes, left optic nerve and bilateral blow out fractures of orbits. Results: The initial ocular examination revealed "hand motion" in the right eye and no sensation of light on the left eye. Intraocular pressure was low on both eyes. Motility of both eyes was reduced, especially on the left eye. Lacerations of eyelids and conjunctiva required surgical approach. No repair of the upper canaliculus of the left eye was attempted. Paralytic mydriasis and loss of lens accommodation in both eyes did not change throughout follow- up period. Surgical approach required left blowout fracture, ocular motility of the right eye improved spontaneously. Traumatic cataract developed on the left eye within 1 year after injury and required cataract surgery and posterior capsule lens implantation, the right lens remain clear. A massive scaring of retina and choroid in inferior parts of eyes and in a macula reduced the best-corrected visual acuity on the right eye to 0.15 and on the left eye to 0.08. Intraocular pressure is within normal limits without any glaucoma therapy. Follow up period is three years. Conclusion: This is the first reported case of child with eye injury caused by a high-pressure water jet and during a sport activity.

“…The condition was suspected to be due to exposure to dishwashing liquid or fire-retardant residues in the river water 9 . In a water-jet related incident, high pressure from the vehicle was reportedly responsible for Descemet’s membrane ruptures in an individual 10 …”

Water related ocular diseases

A number of ocular diseases can be attributed to contaminated water and we have coined a term "Water-related ocular diseases (WRODs)" to denote this wide-spectrum of conditions. WRODs are directly related to human contact with water and can occur through toxic, allergic, inflammatory or infective mechanisms. The non-infective causes can include chemicals used to clean swimming pools, oil spills and water-sport related injuries. Similarly, a number of infective organisms causing ocular diseases are transmitted through water. Since, these conditions can occasionally prove devastating, a review was done with the following aims: (i) To study the epidemiology of WRODs (ii) To assess the clinical presentation and current management of WRODs (iii) To highlight the future challenges and possible solutions to these problems. The online search was conducted utilizing search engines such as PubMed, Google Scholar, ClinicalKey and the Virtual Library of the Ministry of Health, Malaysia for relevant terms such as water-borne, swimming pool and eye infections.
