Three patients (27%) had bilateral ocular injuries. The most common reasons for the blast were wiring a bulb to the battery or charging the battery with a universal mobile charger, seen in four cases each. Three eyes had closed-globe injuries (CGIs), whereas 11 had open-globe injuries (OGIs). Of the 11 eyes with OGI, four also had a retained intraocular foreign body (IOFB). Only four (36%) eyes having OGI could achieve vision better than 6\/60. All three eyes with CGIs developed secondary glaucoma, and two underwent trabeculectomy. However, the visual prognosis was better (&gt;6\/36) in eyes with CGI. Overall, mean visual acuity at the final follow-up was improved to 1.41 \u00b1 1.14 logMAR from 2.32 \u00b1 0.76 logMAR at presentation. This was also found to be statistically significant with a\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      value of 0.02.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Battery blast-induced ocular injuries, although rare, often lead to poor outcomes.
