Abstract
Ocular trauma from nylon line lawn trimmers is becoming more prevalent. Previous case reports have described penetrating trauma caused by these tools. We managed three cases of fungal keratitis caused by injuries from nylon line trimmers. Fungal keratitis should be strongly considered as the cause of any corneal ulcer related to trauma from a nylon line lawn trimmer.Entities:
