A 7-year-old boy from Lincolnshire in the United Kingdom was left completely blind on the left eye when it was hit by a piece of loom band. Kyle Lawrence was sitting on the floor with his mother and siblings; creating a sandal from the loom bands. The design features a strap that hooks around a toe and a colorful band that stretches around the ankle.
Kyle’s older brother stretched one of the bands to make it fit in the design, when it suddenly slipped from his fingers and hit Kyle in the left eye.
They brought the kid to the hospital, he was not admitted but they gave him eye drops and sent him home. The boy continued to feel pain the whole night which prompted his parents to bring him back the next day only to realize that his eye was left blinded because of the injury.
