dc.description.abstractNowadays, lasers are used in many areas such as medicine, industry, laboratory research, entertainment and the military. Military lasers are generally used for such tasks as sensitive distance measurements and marking the targets. The retina is very sensitive to the laser beams and temporary or permanent vision loss can occur depending on the power, wavelength of the laser beams and duration of exposure. Lasers that showing photochemical, mechanical or thermal effects can lead to complications such as chorioretinal scarring, macular hole, choroidal neovascularization and preretinal membrane formation. There is not effective and proven treatment of retinopathy resulting from the laser beams, therefore it is important to avoid exposure to the laser beam. It was reported two security personel with macular injury exposed to the laser beams used in firearms and in this context it was aimed to give information about the laser and to discuss the its effects on the retina in this study. © 2017 Gazi Eye Foundation.
