Malaysian doctors have shared details of a horrific road accident in which a young boy was struck in the right eye socket by the brake lever of his motorcycle in a magazine.
The firefighters cut the brake lever off the vehicle on the spot so that the arriving ambulances could get to the injured person. By the time they got him to the Universiti Malaya Eye Research Center in Kuala Lumpur, the 19-year-old’s eyes were already red and swollen.
The CT scans revealed that the brake arm pierced the boy’s lower eye socket and part of the bone around his nose was also damaged. At the same time, the 17-centimeter-long arm did not touch the teenager’s pupils or nerves, so he successfully avoided long-term eye damage.
The teenager was immediately operated on: the brake lever was removed along with the damaged tissue, and the broken bone around the nose was fixed with two screws. During the check-up six months later, the doctors finally determined that the young boy’s vision was not impaired in the slightest, and his retina was completely healed, according to The Sun in his article, Bors.
