title: Eye injury as a result of coat toggle trauma.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report the severity of ocular injury in three adults with blunt ocular trauma resulting from elastic corded coat toggles.
  
  
  METHODS
  Observational case series.
  
  
  METHODS
  We retrospectively reviewed the case records of all patients (n=3) with blunt ocular trauma secondary to elastic corded coat toggles that presented to our department.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Injuries included traumatic hyphaema, cataract, angle recession, vitreous haemorrhage and retinal tears.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Significant ocular injury can result from elasticated coat toggles. The general ophthalmologist should be aware of this new method of potentially sight threatening trauma.
