    Abstract:
    We report three cases of ocular injury caused by industrial lasers when safety precautions are not observed. These three cases concern engineers working in a research institute and using YAG laser alignment procedure. Damages observed are: a) Macular hole; b) Subretinal hemorrhage; c) Intravitreous hemorrhage. An absolute central scotoma occurred in two cases.
