Case ReportsBlunt ocular trauma in one eye: a photo documentation.
Blunt ocular trauma can cause both structural and functional damage to the eye. We present a 13-year-old male who suffered a blunt injury with a wooden stick. ⋯ Although ocular examination should always focus on these signs, all the signs are rarely present in a patient presenting with blunt trauma. Despite multistructural damage, the patient regained useful vision with medical management alone.

Case ReportsBee sting of the cornea: a case study and review of the literature.
Bee stings of the cornea are rarely reported, but have the potential for causing serious ophthalmological injuries. We present a case of corneal bee sting with retained stinger apparatus. A 35-year-old patient presented with an acute, corneal bee sting of the right eye 12 hours after he was stung. ⋯ After 2 months, the eye only showed a minimal residual corneal opacification. Visual acuity was 10/10. We present a case of bee sting to the cornea with retained stinger apparatus and treatment of this unusual presentation.
