The ritual burning of incense in the form of joss sticks is a common Chinese cultural practice, especially during Chinese festivals for paying respect to ancestors or religious figures. We report four consecutive cases of ocular and corneal thermal injury by burning joss sticks, in paediatric patients who presented to our centre from March 2015 to October 2015.
