Abstract
We report the case of a 16-year-old boy who developed central scotoma a month after staring at the light beam of a laser pointer device. Duration time was 3-6 seconds and the device was classified as IIIA green laser pointer with less than 5 mW power. Clinical examination revealed normal corrected visual acuity and paracentral scotoma in the left eye with focal disruption of inner/outer segment junction of photoreceptor and mild thinning of Retinal Pigmented Epithelium (RPE) of left macula in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). He was treated with oral corticosteroids and significant improvement was observed after 2 months of follow up.
