Abstract

'Paintball' is a war game in which 2 teams use special carbon dioxide or air compressed guns to shoot gelatin or latex balls filled with paint. The balls rupture on impact marking the victim with the extruded dye. Ocular paintball injuries are increasingly being reported, probably due to the popularity and unrestricted use of this game without consideration for safety. This report presents the first 2 incidences of ocular paintball injury in Israel.
