    Abstract

    The grease gun injury is an uncommon injury to the orbit. However, high-pressure injection of grease, oil, or paint is frequently reported in injuries of the hand and usually affects the fingers or palm, which require complicated surgical and medical care. Two cases of grease gun injury to the orbit are reported: one, a catastrophic injury, and the other resulting in satisfactory recovery after surgical debridement and adjuvant medical treatment. Presentation, investigation, and therapy are discussed.
