Clinical and Imaging Spectrum of Laser-Induced Maculopathy Caused by Laser Projection Devices

This study highlights the clinical and imaging spectrum of lesions in laser-induced maculopathy. There is a lack of awareness about the potentially sight-threatening complications from the use of recreational laser projection devices. Government directives to regulate the use of laser projection devices are needed to prevent loss of vision in children and young adults.

Abstract

This study highlights the clinical and imaging spectrum of lesions in laser-induced maculopathy. There is a lack of awareness about the potentially sight-threatening complications from the use of recreational laser projection devices. Government directives to regulate the use of laser projection devices are needed to prevent loss of vision in children and young adults.
