To report two patients with ocular burns from explosion of microwaved eggs that caused direct vision-threatening corneal damage.
The initial examination and treatment of both patients are described.
Both patients were initially examined with severe decrease in the visual acuity of both eyes. The first patient required limbal conjunctival transplantation and a subsequent penetrating keratoplasty in the right eye and prolonged treatment of superficial keratitis in the left eye. The second patient sustained bilateral corneal epithelial defects and unilateral intrastromal hemorrhage.
Exploding microwaved eggs can cause notable thermal injury to the eyes. The public should be educated about the dangers of cooking eggs in the microwave oven.
报告两例因微波炉加热鸡蛋爆炸导致眼部烧伤并造成直接威胁视力的角膜损伤患者。
描述了两名患者的初始检查和治疗情况。
两名患者初诊时均双眼视力严重下降。首例患者右眼需要进行角膜缘结膜移植及后续穿透性角膜移植术，左眼需要长期治疗浅层角膜炎。第二例患者双眼角膜上皮缺损，单眼基质内出血。
微波炉加热鸡蛋爆炸可对眼睛造成显著热损伤。应向公众宣传在微波炉中煮鸡蛋的危险性。
