The authors describe a case of traumatic retinal dialysis with retinal detachment from a water balloon slingshot during a "water balloon war." A 31-year-old woman presented with decreased visual acuity in her right eye 2 days after being hit by a water balloon. The visual acuity in the right eye was counting fingers and fundus examination showed subtotal retinal detachment secondary to a superonasal dialysis. The patient underwent a scleral buckling procedure with external drainage, and at 18 months visual acuity was stable at 20/50 with attached retina. Water balloon eye injuries can result in permanent visual loss. More public awareness needs to be created regarding the potential harmful effects of this commonly used "toy."
作者描述了一例在“水球大战”中因水球弹弓导致创伤性视网膜脱离伴视网膜透析的病例。一名31岁女性在被水球击中2天后出现右眼视力下降。右眼视力为指数，眼底检查显示继发于鼻上方透析的视网膜部分脱离。患者接受了巩膜扣带术并进行了外引流，18个月时视力稳定在20/50，视网膜复位。水球致眼损伤可导致永久性视力丧失。需要提高公众对这种常用“玩具”潜在有害影响的认识。
