Abstract
Case reportA 9-year-old boy referred due to visual loss in his right eye after playing with a laser pointer. In the first visit (12hours later) visual acuity (VA) was 0.15. A hypopigmented lesion was present in the fovea, and optic coherence tomography (OCT) showed vertical hyper-reflective bands. In the last visit (6 months later), VA had improved to 0.5, and OCT showed a well-defined area of outer retinal layer disruption. DiscussionAn inadequate use of laser pointers can induce severe and permanent visual loss.
