Abstract
- With the widespread use of laser in medical and industrial settings, the incidence of laser injury to the retina continues to grow among workers involved in handling lasers. Nd:YAG laser has recently been applied on a broad basis in ophthal-mology. We present our experience of accidental Nd:YAG laser injury to the retina resulting in macular hole formation and vitreous hemorrhage, and review the literatures briefly.
