Blinding eye injury during a rock concert

Journal/Book: Ophthalmic Surg Lasers. 1998; 29: 518.

Abstract: A 17-year-old girl attended a rock concert where promotional compact discs were being thrown into the audience as prizes. She suffered an extensive corneoscleral laceration with vitreous hemorrhage and retinal detachment when a compact disc struck her in the eye. An alternative, safer method must be used for distributing compact discs as prizes.
