“…Common birds responsible for human injury are hens, eagles, owls, roosters, bats, ostriches, mynah, magpies, sparrows etc. [59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67] Most of the birds use their beaks and claws as attacking weapons. 59,68 Young children are at higher risk of bird's attack with or without provocation due to the curiosity of children to explore the living creature.…”

Eye injuries constitute a significant cause of avoidable global blindness. Animal-related injuries are an increasing public health issue worldwide. The interaction of a man with animals occurs in various situations, and the danger associated with it are underestimated and also there are underreported wounds. Animal-induced ocular injuries are often severe and may lead to visual impairment, blindness and cosmetic disfigurement. Animal-related ocular injuries are classified according to the geographical distribution, type of animal, its behavior and availability in the community. This article reviews current literature and discusses the mechanism and severity of animal inflicted ocular and adnexal injuries in humans and various management techniques.

“…Importantly, hard beak pecking has the potential to cause severe visual function impairment [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Previous reports have shown that various types of birds, such as the sparrow [ 1 ], ostrich [ 2 ], rooster [ 7 ], common myna [ 3 ], crane [ 4 ], domestic hen [ 5 ], bittern [ 6 ], and eagle [ 8 ], can cause human ocular injuries, such as corneal infiltration, defects, cataract, retinal detachment, and endophthalmitis. Pecking damage is dependent on the injured site, bird size, or their attacking habit, as well as the condition of the wounds, and the clinical outcome may sometimes be poor [ 5 ].…”

We report a case of open globe injury caused by Ardea alba pecking that resulted in Escherichia coli panophthalmitis. A woman in her 70s complaining of ocular pain was referred to our hospital because her right eye had been pecked by an A. alba 2 days earlier. Visual acuity in her right eye was reduced to light sensation. The right conjunctiva became hyperemic and edematous with swelling of the right upper eyelid. The upper side of the right cornea was densely cloudy with focal defect. Ultrasonography showed a thick sclera and choroid-like structure. Pathological investigation of a scraped sample from the infected site revealed gram-negative rods; E. coli was isolated. She had fever with elevated serum C-reactive protein levels and leukocytosis confirmed by laboratory examination. Topical levofloxacin and cefmenoxime and intravenous fosfomycin and aspoxicillin were initiated, but the right cornea melted near the perforated site with leakage of the eyeball contents on the next day. We decided to perform eye evisceration because of difficulty in controlling corneal melting and panophthalmitis. Her general state recovered the day after surgery. Orbital cellulitis improved gradually with normal Creactive protein levels and white blood cell counts. As ocular injury caused by birds could

Scleral and corneal laceration with iris prolapse caused by an eagle claw

Abstract: A bird of prey, even though caged, can injure an eye in humans. With immediate surgical treatment, good visual rehabilitation was achieved in this case. It should be reiterated that spectacles offer no protection against ocular trauma in these cases.
