title: [Perforating eye injuries caused by darts].
abstract: Four perforating eye injuries sustained by children playing with darts are analyzed. The injuries occurred within a period of 17 months. All the patients had minor injuries of the anterior segment and severe injuries in the posterior segment, such as vitreous hemorrhages and double perforations. Precautions should be taken to prevent such injuries: games involving darts are not suitable for children.
