黑颈眼镜蛇（Naja nigricollis）吐出的毒液进入9例患者的眼睛。在5例患者中，唯一的影响是单纯的结膜炎，但4例发生角膜溃疡，1例发生前葡萄膜炎，表明前房中的毒液吸收，2例永久失明。讨论了这种罕见的紧急情况的治疗：立即用水冲洗眼睛，仔细检查角膜擦伤，并建议预防继发感染。当地特异性抗蛇毒血清的价值尚未得到证实。
Venom entered the eyes of 9 patients spat at by the spitting cobra, Naja nigricollis. In 5 the only effect was a simple conjunctivitis but 4 had corneal ulceration, 1 developed anterior uveitis indicating absorption of venom in the anterior chamber, and 2 were permanently blinded. Treatment of this rare emergency is discussed: immediate irrigation of the eye with water, careful examination for corneal abrasion, and prevention of secondary infection are recommended. The value of local specific antivenom is unproven.
