Abstract
PURPOSE
To describe the ocular surface injury resulting from a microwave superheated liquid.
METHODS
Case report.
RESULTS
A 40-year-old man sustained an ocular surface injury from a microwave superheated liquid. The injury resulted in limbal stem cell damage requiring an autograft limbal stem cell transplantation.
CONCLUSIONS
We are unaware of previous reports of microwave superheated liquids resulting in ocular injury. Microwave superheating of liquids is a potential ocular danger that should be brought to the attention of both ophthalmologists and their patients.
