N2  - With the wide range of applications, laser pointer used as toys by children becoming a major public safety problem worldwide. Here we present a long term followup of a ten-year-old boy retina injured patient who suffered from green light laser pointer. Retina injured patients caused by green light laser pointer were traditionally treated by steroid. We only gave Lutein treatment prescription according to the wishes of the patient's parents. After an over 12 months followup, the patient's visual acuity and retinal recovery situation, the outcomes are similar as cases with steroid treatment. Primary school teacher and parents should pay more attention to children playing with laser pointer and prevent children to occur laser injury accident by school and family education.<br><br>Copyright © 2017 Elsevier B.V.
