Gruesome picture shows man’s ‘sagging’ IRIS after he was hit in the face by bungee cord
The man from Taiwan was left reeling in utter agony and with blurred and double vision after the excruciating accident
THESE shocking pictures show a man’s collapsed IRIS after he was struck in his left eye by a bungee cord.
The 48-year-old had been trying to secure goods onto his motorbike when the elastic cordage came loose and whipped him in the eyeball.
He said the patient's distorted iris was found the “upper portion sagging downward, detached from the 9 o'clock position to the 3 o'clock position”.
Dr Nicholas Bell — a clinical professor at the University of Texas who was not involved in the case — told the condition is “relatively uncommon”.
He said: “Bungee cord and airbag injuries seem to more frequently result in traumatic iridodialysis because of the focally concentrated strong force.”
