Abstract：
PURPOSE:To report two patients with ocular burns from explosion of microwaved eggs that caused direct vision-threatening corneal damage. METHODS:The initial examination and treatment of both patients are described. RESULTS: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. CONCLUSIONS: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.
