- 摘要：Purpose
We report a case of macular injury by accidental exposure to a green laser pointer.
Case summaryA 25-year-old man had an acute reduction of visual acuity in his right eye two years ago after accidental exposure to a green laser pointer for a few seconds. The patient's best corrected visual acuity was counting fingers in his right eye. Fundus examination and optical coherence tomography showed a macular hole and a linear retinal scar in his right eye.
ConclusionsGreen laser pointers may cause macular damage after exposure of just a few seconds, which can lead to irreversible reduction of visual acuity.
