[With an eye on... the champagne cork].
Two patients, males of 31 and 15 years old, developed blunt injury of one eye, including hyphaema, due to a champagne cork. In one patient surgical evacuation was performed, the other recovered with drug therapy only. Inquiries in other ophthalmic departments in the Netherlands indicate that this type of trauma seems to be more frequent at the turn of the year.
