N2  - BACKGROUND Gotcha has become a new leisure-time activity among young people. The high speed dye bullets are threatening the eyes unless using safety goggles. PATIENTS In the last 1 1/2 years there were three young patients treated in our clinic because of serious eye injuries. They were under 18 years old and they had borrowed the weapons from adults. None had used safety goggles. We were able to show the suitability of goggles by own experiments. CONCLUSIONS Therefore we demand, that Gotcha playing must be allowed only to adults who are wearing safety goggles.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>
