Case Discussion
- TASER barb was removed by trauma surgeon
- The patient has a phthisis bulbi and micro-opthalmos as a result of TASER injury to the eye. This is despite early and quick interventions in a Children's hospital
- No vision in left eye and since this happened in a kid has future cosmetic problems related to the growth of the eye
