Corneal manifestations in chemical injury with stannous chloride

International Ophthalmology volume 33, pages 725–727 (2013)Cite this article

Abstract

Chemical injuries are potentially devastating ocular accidents that can lead to permanent damage to the ocular surface and visual loss. The majority of serious chemical injuries occur in factory workers who are exposed to hazardous chemicals in their day-to-day life. The ocular effects of commonly encountered acids and alkalis are well documented in the literature. Here we report briefly on the corneal and other ocular effects of stannous chloride, which is sparsely reported in the currently available literature.
