The use of paint balls, increasingly popular for war games and survival games, has recently been introduced for certain military training exercises. We treated two soldiers who had severe permanent ocular damage after being hit by these balls. Both removed their goggles after their vision was obscured with paint from a hit on these protective lenses. They were then hit for a second time, resulting in the eye injury. Based on these cases and on a literature review, we conclude that protective eye gear should be mandatory when paint pellets are used. It is essential that service members participating in such exercises be instructed not to remove their protective goggles under any circumstances.
彩弹在军事游戏和生存游戏中越来越受欢迎，最近已被引入某些军事训练演习。我们治疗了两名被彩弹击中后遭受严重永久性眼损伤的士兵。两人在防护镜片被彩弹击中致视力模糊后都摘掉了护目镜。随后他们又被击中了一次，导致眼部受伤。基于这些病例以及文献综述，我们得出结论，当使用彩弹时，必须佩戴防护眼罩。至关重要的是，要指示参加此类演习的军人在任何情况下都不要摘掉他们的防护护目镜。
