A Case of Retinal Injury by Neodymium: YAG Laser

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.
