Abstract

Laser injuries have shown a very predictable and recurring trend of increasing incidence during the festivity period.

In our case series we present spectrum of cases of recreational laser induced trauma which were mutually exclusive from each other with respect to time and place of injury. The mean age of the patients was 25.8 years. The spectrum of retinal injuries included subhyaloid hemorrhage, sub-ILM hemorrhage, intraretinal and subretinal hemorrhage, outer retinal layers injury which were managed accordingly.

This video highlights: 1. The knowledge gap in people about lasers, 2. The nature and extent of retinal injury due to lasers 3. The major proportion of the affected people are those of younger and more active age groups.
