A 25-year-old man sustained bilateral ocular trauma from an explosion, which resulted in ocular injuries from the blast, mineral projections, and heat. Before the accident, the patient had eight-incision radial keratotomy in the left eye followed 1 week later by photorefractive keratectomy in the right eye. After the accident, the left cornea had a full-thickness rupture of four incisions; the fellow cornea had a full-thickness laceration from a mineral projection. Five months after the accident, the left eye had an uncorrected visual acuity of 20/25; the right eye did not achieve an acuity of 20/200 until 20 months after the accident.
