PS.

In the year 1973 I was working in the Accident/Emergency Department as Registrar at the Becket Hospital, Barnsley, UK. A young girl around 10 years was brought in saying she had suddenly gone blind in one eye while playing in a public park on a sunny day. There was blood seen through the iris. There was also a small puncture mark in the white of the eye. There was very little pain. The child had seen a boy playing around with an air-gun in the park. I ordered an Xray of the head and there was an air-gun pellet seen inside the maxillary sinus of the affected side.

The Registrar in Ophthalmology saw the child and said that the affected eye was a write-off.

A child's air-gun is as dangerous as a rifle.
