Laser light retinopathy

Objective: To report a clinical case of macular retinopathy after laser light exposition. Methods: We described a case of reversible maculopathy in a 29-year-old woman. Retinography and Optical Coherence Tomography were performed. Discussion: Retinopathy due to laser light is an increasingly frequen...

description Objective: To report a clinical case of macular retinopathy after laser light exposition. Methods: We described a case of reversible maculopathy in a 29-year-old woman. Retinography and Optical Coherence Tomography were performed. Discussion: Retinopathy due to laser light is an increasingly frequent pathology because of its improper use and the massive sale not regulated by the Internet. These lesions can vary from mild disruptions in the pigmentary epithelium to retinal hemorrhages, retinal ruptures, or macular holes. The depth of the lesion and the involvement of the photoreceptors layer will confer a worse visual prognosis. Conclusion: A correct control of the sale and consumption of these devices are necessary to suppress this completely avoidable pathology.
