A young adult male experienced penetrating globe injury due to a Thomas A. Swift Electric Rifle (TASER). Despite successful repair of the globe, the damage was profound. This case report explores the complex ways in which mechanical and electrical forces from a TASER may impact the structural integrity and the neurosensory structures of the eye.
