    AbstractOcular thermal injuries from improper use of a microwave oven are rare. Manufacturers recommend cooking eggs in the microwave only after the shell has been removed and the yolk sac has been pierced with a pin. Failure to follow these instructions is likely to result in ocular and facial burns. Only eight adult cases of such injuries have been documented so far. Ocular burn from the explosion of a microwaved egg in a pediatric patient is being reported for the first time in the English medical literature.
