N2  - A case is reported of severe eye injury in an 11-year-old boy which occurred during threshing in the parents' farmyard. A detailed description of surgical treatment, complications and 7-year follow-up is presented. Despite long lasting treatment and new surgical methods used, the eye became blind. On the basis of our experience we can conclude that adequate adult supervision of children is mandatory during work in farmyards, and this is probably the only way to avoid at least a part of severe injuries which cause great social and economic losses.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
