  • Title: Accidental industrial laser burn of macula.
    Author: Fowler BJ.
    Journal: Ann Ophthalmol; 1983 May; 15(5):481-3. PubMed ID: 6651157.
    Abstract:
    A 20-year-old graduate student in physics was struck in the left eye by light from a dye laser. The injury resulted in rapid and profound loss of central visual acuity in the affected eye. Over the course of six months after the injury the corrected central vision improved to 20/25. Accidental retinal injuries due to laser light are discussed, as is the effect of nonionizing radiation on the retinal tissues.
