Alkali burns of the eye can result in permanent visual impairment and are therefore potentially devastating. Immedicate diagnosis and treatment are essential to a good prognosis. The authors report the case of a 52-year-old woman who suffered alkali keratitis as the result of the activation of an automobile air bag. This type of injury will be seen more frequently as more cars are equipped with air bags and should be suspected in drivers and passengers involved in accidents in which air bags have been activated.
眼部碱烧伤可导致永久性视力损害,因此具有潜在的破坏性。立即诊断和治疗对于良好的预后至关重要。作者报告了一例52岁女性因汽车安全气囊展开而发生碱烧伤性角膜炎的病例。随着越来越多的汽车配备安全气囊,这类损伤将会更频繁地出现,对于涉及安全气囊展开事故的驾驶员和乘客,应怀疑有此类损伤。
