abstract="PURPOSE: To determine the circumstance and outcome of ocular injuries attributable to paintball projectiles. DESIGN: Retrospective interventional case series. METHODS: Institutional review board approved retrospective chart review of 19 consecutive eyes with paintball injuries with minimum follow-up of 3 months. RESULTS: Ten eyes (53%) had final visual acuity of 20/40 or better, while seven (36%) were 20/200 or worse. Ten eyes were injured in paintball games, (two formal and eight informal), while nine (47%) were injured by accidents or assaults not associated with any "game." CONCLUSIONS: Paintball injuries often cause severe and permanent visual loss. Nearly half of these injuries occur outside a war game setting as accidents or assaults.",
