green laser eye damage

Hi Doc, I was in a small clothes store where there was a powerful laser system throwing green and red lights.i accidentally saw directly into the laser at a very short distance.my eyes felt the pressure and now i am having blurred vision ,watery eyes and increase in floaters.Did the laser cause damage to my eyes.kindly help.

My right eye is exposed to green 100mw laser ( i buy it from a toy shop...). After it, there is unclear spot in the middle of my vision ( when i try to look at something it seems to be at central point where iam looking). 1. Shall this spot dissappear ? 2. Is iy very dangerous ?

No the lasers at a discotheque will not damage the eye. If you have floaters and watering eyes that's not the cause. If you can tear yourself away from "Saturday Night Fever" then see an ophthalmologist on Monday.

1056/NEJMc1005818 Green lasers are particularly dangerous because certain cells on the retina absorb green light wavelengths very efficiently. But both red and green laser pointers can cause damage to the retina and vision, and some of that damage can be permanent.

well this is a bit off topic but when i was undergoing the surgery the doctor had told me to stare into the green light, but my eye kinda relaxed to much and went off focus for a second. Could that do any damage, or not give me the greatest results? Thanks, Mario.

If you have blue/gray/green eye atropine may take 3 weeks to wear off, sooner brown eye. The pupil can be permanently dilated not by atropine but my trauma or surgery, especially if you had scleral buckle. Generally whatever the pupil is at 4-6 months post surgery is permanent.

The brownish staining from the bruising I got following multiple surgeries on my right eye was completely removed by a single treatment with a Q-switched laser. This is the same laser used to remove tattoos. I had previously been told that the problem was untreatable, since no cream could penetrate that deeply. But I recently found an article on the Candelalaser website describing the use of a Q-switched laser to treat blood staining on the legs and calves. I was referred to Dr.

But when i do microscopy, i see a lighter shade of red and green through the left eye compared to the right eye. Example, I see instead of deep red, orangish shade through the left eye. I told this to the optometrist but she had no clue whatz going on. I did a bit of reading and speculate that i could have damaged my cones by working too much on bright single wavelength light used in microscopy.

I have seen other posted questions about discharge coming out of an eye when a person blows their nose. I too have had this same issue for a couple years, and doctors had always said that it was not a problem to worry about. However, several weeks ago I developed a bad sinus infection and along with it I started to have green/yellow discharge coming out of my right eye, which has since spread to both.

Hello sir , How are you , I hope you are enjoying your good health ..

During the procedure my ophthalmologist put a lens in my eye with gel and I observed green flashes when the laser was active. They measured the IOP in my right eye with the simple air puff test both before the procedure and about 30min afterwards. IOP was 18 before, 20 afterwards so no big IOP spike which is what they were checking for. I was also given a bottle of some type of anti-imflammatory eyedrops to use 4 times a day for the next 4 days.

In a light color eye (blue, gray, green) the drops can take several days to a week to wear off, faster in brown eyes. It is possible for the pupil to be permanently dilated following laser/cataract-IOL/macular hole/retinal detachment surgery. Only time will tell.

The doctor checked my retina and said i have several holes and have a weak retina. He said it is advisible to undergo laser therapy which will stop further damage and floaters. I've heard that there is a lot of debate on this subject. And hence im confused where i should go for the laser therapy. Can anyone help me?

Can a laser mouse for a computer cause permanent vision damage? I know that certain lasers can. I ask this because I recently bought a new laser mouse and looked at the bottom of the mouse because i felt something stuck when i moved my mouse. I looked at the lense where the laser is supposed to be. I have maybe looked at the lense where the laser is about 2-3 times each at different times. I did not pick up the mouse and put it directly infront of my face or eyes.

I was wondering...my eye doctor checked my eye pressure 3 times on each eye and they were all between 25-30. they checked for glaucoma but it was negative...nothing else was done. shouldn't they try to lower the pressure to prevent damage to my optic nerve??? i am experiencing blurry vision but every so often and sometimes i feel like there's something in my periphrial sight, i'll turn my head and there will be nothing there.

Also the decision to do laser first or gel stent depends on how much damage there is to your eye. If you have severe glaucoma and lost of damage to your optic nerve, bad looking visual fields and bad nerve fiber layer OCT than going to the stent would be appropriate.

There are safety requirement for laser use. You should as the bar is a laser was used. Also, you should get your eyes checked your ophthalmologist. Dr. O.

So on 1st of september,I had laser done, my flashes are gone but new problem emerged that, after the laser, my vision is still blurry as Almost 40 hrs have been passed, I can read words in LE accurately but they are slightely blurred as compared to my RIGHT HEALTHY EYE, I was worried about damage to fovea Or cornea by laser .

Hi, I have just come back from my yearly check up at the hospital (I have eye pressures consistently above 26 but not over 30) and my local hospital advised that they only treat over 30 and will actively monitor me for any damage/changes etc which to date I have none, visual field still fully intact and no nerve damage as yet with these pressures. Also to keep you informed my left eye is severely amblyopic so basically I use my right eye for everything!

I have to have a capsulotomy and was wondering if this procedure will damage the Photoreceptors or rods and cones in my eye. Does this bright light and heat damage this part of the eye? I read in one of the databases at the library that this was possible in a laser procedure.

I have noticed deteriorating vision in my left eye for the past 5 years or so. My left eye is considerably worse than my right. Recently they tried PET in my left eye with a short temporal improvement. I now have difficulty reading and writing. I am a writer. I live in Sydney Australia. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi, I went dr to check my eye number. They used eye drop. I had pain after eye drop and I was feeling uncomfortable with my right eye. I came back to dr office and they noticed my eye pressure has rised up. Apparently eye drop had blocked my drainage. They are referring me to specialist for laser treatment. Does it end glaucoma for me? Does cause permanent side effect?

t want the YAG laser to damage my eye from the power of the laser. How long do I have to wait to have this laser work done after cataract and vitrectomy surgery?

If not, what alternative options are available to help cure her eye condition? 4. Will eye exercises further damage her retina leading to retinal detachment?

how long does it take for the slt to begin working? and why did they check my eye pressure so soon afterwards would my eye pressure go down that quickly?i then need to return in 6 weeks for another pressure check.

No such symptoms are not characteristic of laser damage to the eye, not at all. They are suggestive of dry eyes and contact lens problems.
