abstract="BACKGROUND:: Laser injuries caused by Q-switched lasers are not unusual in the military and laboratories. To our knowledge, only one case of eye injury during a laser show has been reported previously. <br><br>METHODS:: Case series. <br><br>RESULTS:: All three patients had uniocular foveal hemorrhagic injury demonstrated by fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography. The lesions resolved within 6 months. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS:: Laser retinal injuries can cause transient or permanent visual damage. Accidental eye injuries during a laser show may be possible.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
