Risks and regulation of rubber scattershot in Switzerland: a narrative review.
Eye (Lond)
October 2024
Ophthalmologist in private practice, Kalkbreitestr. 8, 8003, Zürich, Switzerland.
Article Synopsis
- Multiple kinetic impact projectiles (KIPs), especially rubber scattershot, are a significant cause of eye injuries in crowd control, with 36 reported cases in Switzerland since 1980, and a recent increase in incidents.
- Current knowledge shows that even low-energy impacts can lead to irreversible visual loss, highlighting a discrepancy between energy limits set for KIPs and the actual risk of injury.
- There is a need for better reporting and understanding of these injuries, as well as updated regulations that address energy thresholds for permanent visual damage, emphasizing the importance of involving ophthalmologists in the research and management of such cases.
Post-traumatic lens absorption with an intact lens capsule.

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Neurosciences, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
A 29-year-old man presented with longstanding, stable, unilateral vision loss in the setting of a remote paintball injury. His examination was notable for a sensory exotropia as well as multiple foci of posterior synechiae, segments of white lenticular material and islands of lenticular cells within a grossly intact capsule, and severe zonular compromise in the affected eye. The majority of the nuclear lens material was absent.

Purpose: Nonpowder toy guns (NPTGs) are responsible for many ocular traumas. This study aims to detail the outcomes of these injuries depending on the causative NPTG.
Design: Retrospective, observational case series.
Visibility of inflicted bruises by alternate light: Results of a randomized controlled trial.

School of Public Health, Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Difficulty visualizing bruises resulting from interpersonal violence, especially in individuals with dark skin, contributes to disparities in access to justice. The purpose of this analysis was to compare bruise visibility of detected injuries using white light versus alternate light sources (ALS). Visibility was assessed using the 5-point Bruise Visibility Scale (BVS) for white light and the ALS Visibility Scale (AVS) for ALS.

Importance: Traumatic eye injury is one of the leading causes of visual impairment in the United States, but there is limited information available in the literature about ocular trauma related to sports.
Objective: To evaluate the primary ocular diagnosis, type of sport, seasonal prevalence, and injury severity following ocular sports-related trauma.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
