title: Automobile air bag eye injuries.
abstract: Until improvements in the design of air bags have minimized the risk of serious ocular trauma, practitioners must be alert to the possibility of severe eye damage any time the device is activated. Prompt ophthalmological referral and prompt treatment of any ocular injury can result in a lower incidence of permanent visual loss.
