Abstract
A 17-year-old girl attended a rock concert where promotional compact d iscs were being thrown into the audience as prizes. She suffered an ex tensive corneoscleral laceration with vitreous hemorrhage and retinal detachment when a compact disc struck her in the eye. An alternative, safer method must be used for distributing compact discs as prizes.
