Eye injury due to spontaneous explosion of soft drink bottle.

This young male suffered injury in his left eye as he was handling a cold drink bottle kept in hot environment. The pressure inside the bottle was so high that some agitation caused by movement caused explosion of the bottle resulting in severe eye injury.
Presenting vision was PL present with hand movement perception.
 The corneal laceration was repaired with repositioning of the prolapsed tissue. The cataract caused by the injury would be managed later when inflammation subsides.
