Stellar corneal rupture and secondary glaucoma after squash trauma in a keratotomized eye.

We report an unusual dramatic case of stellar ocular rupture after squash blunt in a recently keratotomized eye through weakened keratotomy scars. The early secondary glaucoma, the tension generated by the surgical sutures of the wounds and the use of systemic and topical steroids could explain the reopening of two incisions initially unperforated and the delayed healing procedure. We also stress the benefits of wearing protective eye glasses when playing squash, as well as a strict legislation in Belgium in such an eye-threatening sport.
