Ocular injuries and outcomes secondary to Nerf guns in an optometric setting
This current study specifically focuses on Nerf gun-related ocular injuries and their definite visual outcomes in a larger study population and period in an optometric setting. Most injuries are limited to the anterior segment with limited to no visual sequalae. Poorer visual outcomes are still possible and therefore proper safety eyewear, safe play, and safe distancing when using Nerf gun-type projectiles is recommended.
