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.
METHODS
Case series.
RESULTS
All three patients had uniocular foveal hemorrhagic injury demonstrated by fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography. The lesions resolved within 6 months.
CONCLUSIONS
Laser retinal injuries can cause transient or permanent visual damage. Accidental eye injuries during a laser show may be possible.
