N2 - The authors describe two cases of penetrating ocular trauma in children resulting from ninja stars. In the first case, despite a scleral laceration, loss of iris tissue, and a vitreous hemorrhage, the child had a good result with a final best corrected visual acuity of 20/20. Unfortunately, the child in the second case did not fare as well. In this case, the child suffered a large corneal laceration and traumatic cataract. He ultimately required a penetrating keratoplasty, and he is currently being treated for amblyopia, strabismus, and elevated intraocular pressures. His best corrected visual acuity is 20/70.
