TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Airbag-mediated corneal injury JO - American journal of emergency medicine A1 - Larkin, G. L. SP - 444 EP - 446 VL - 9 IS - 5 N2 - This is the first report of airbag-induced facial and corneal abrasions associated with several weeks of blurred vision in a patient without previous visual or ocular problems. Similar episodes of minor trauma from airbags are becoming commonplace, reflecting the increasing popularity of these lifesaving devices. Nonetheless, airbag-associated injuries, especially facial and ocular injuries, should be monitored and reported to both increase physician awareness and to determine if further airbag design improvements are necessary.
