  • Title: Clinical observations of six cases of laser injury to the eye.
    Author: Gabel VP, Birngruber R, Lorenz B, Lang GK.
    Journal: Health Phys; 1989 May; 56(5):705-10. PubMed ID: 2708058.
    Abstract:
    During the last decade, five patients with laser injuries were examined at the University of Munich Eye Clinic, in addition to one laser-injury patient at the University of Erlangen Eye Clinic. From a review of these cases, it is possible to gain an insight into factors that led to the eye injuries and to predict the clinical sequelae of laser retinal injury. A possible means of treatment, using an ophthalmic Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, is suggested for some types of retinal injury involving vitreal hemorrhage.
