BACKGROUND: Percussion massage guns (PMGs) have gained widespread popularity for muscle recovery; however, standardized safety guidelines for application to anatomically vulnerable regions are lacking. Previously reported PMG-associated ocular injuries have been limited to unilateral or mild bilateral involvement. We report the first documented case of bilateral anterior lens luxation with secondary glaucoma strongly associated with self-application of a PMG to closed eyelids.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 62-year-old Chinese male with type 2 diabetes mellitus and bilateral meibomian gland dysfunction presented with progressive visual decline and headache for 20 and 10 days, respectively, beginning approximately 7 days after discontinuing self-application of a PMG to closed eyelids (medium speed, 30-33 Hz; 10 min per session, 2-3 times daily for 3 consecutive days) used to relieve ocular dryness. Visual acuity was 0.12 OD and 0.2 OS, with intraocular pressure 51 mmHg OD and 49 mmHg OS. Ultrasound biomicroscopy revealed bilateral anterior lens luxation with 360° zonular dehiscence and complete angle closure. Hereditary, pseudoexfoliative, and biometric causes (including microspherophakia and phacomorphic glaucoma) were considered unlikely. Both eyes underwent sequential 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with lensectomy and closed four-point scleral fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens. At the latest follow-up (12 months postoperatively), best-corrected visual acuity was 1.0 OD and 0.8 OS, intraocular pressure was normal without antiglaucoma medication, and no glaucomatous optic neuropathy was detected on RNFL OCT.
CONCLUSIONS: PMG application to the eyelids may be associated with severe bilateral ocular injury, including complete zonular dehiscence and secondary glaucoma, particularly in eyes with predisposing factors such as age-related zonular weakness or diabetes-related extracellular matrix changes. Manufacturers should incorporate explicit safety warnings against periorbital use. Clinicians should proactively guide diabetic patients with dry eye disease toward appropriate ophthalmic care to prevent harmful self-treatment.
