abstract="AIM: To analyse serious eye injuries caused by bottles containing pressurised drinks. METHODS: Retrospective review of the databases of US, Hungarian, and Mexican eye injury registries. RESULTS: In the combined database (12 889 injuries), 90 cases (0.7%) were caused by bottle tops or glass splinters. The incidence varied widely: 0.3% (United States), 3.1% (Hungary), and 0.9% (Mexico), as did the agent. Champagne bottle corks were responsible in 20% (United States), 71% (Hungary; p<0.0001), and 0% (Mexico). Most eyes improved, but 26% remained legally blind. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of warning labels on champagne bottles appears to reduce cork related eye injuries, as does using plastic bottles and caps.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
