Case ReportsCorneal laceration with total but isolated aniridia caused by a pecking injury.
A 38-year-old man sustained a left eye injury after being attacked by a mynah bird. Ocular examination revealed a beak-shaped, full-thickness corneal laceration with total aniridia in the left eye. No other ocular injury was observed, and the lens and posterior segment remained normal over the subsequent 3 months. A penetrating keratoplasty was planned for visual restoration.

Case ReportsPosterior capsule rupture after a paint-pellet injury.
We report a case in which a high-velocity paint pellet injury to the eye ruptured the posterior lens capsule. In the setting of blunt trauma, posterior capsule rupture has rarely been reported. Recognizing such a rupture allows the surgeon to plan the best surgical approach.
