Abstract

A 30 years old laser technician was referred to our emergency department with the complaint of seeing a black spot and metamorphopsia in his left eye after exposure to a disco laser light. Dilated funduscopic examination showed a hypopigmented lesion in the fovea of the left eye. Fluorescein angiography (FA), optic coherans tomography (OCT) and Amsler grid test were performed to the patient to determine the ocular findings, functional damage and longterm outcomes after accidental laser injury. A nonsteroid antiinflamatuar drop was prescriped and he was invited to hospital for control.

Özet

Lazer tamir teknisyeni 30 yaşında erkek hasta, disko ışıklandırmasında kullanılan lazer ışınına maruziyet sonrası sol gözünde siyah bir nokta görme ve metamorfopsi şikâyeti ile başvurdu. Hastanın dilate fundus muayenesinde sol gözde foveada hipopigmente noktasal bir lezyon izlendi. Hastaya bulguların saptanması, fonksiyonel hasarın tespiti ve uzun dönemdeki sonuçların değerlendirilmesi için Amsler grid testi, Optik koherens tomografi (OKT) ve floresein anjiyografi (FA) yapıldı. Topikal nonsteroid antiinflamatuar tedavi başlanarak kontrole çağrıldı.
