Abstract

Laser devices are widely used for medical, military, industrial and entertainment purposes. This extensive and unregulated use of lasers can cause a variety of maculopathies that can result in permanent vision loss. Uncontrolled and inappropriate use of laser instruments should be prevented with strict rules. We strongly emphasize the importance of changing the general misperception that lasers are safe to use for entertainment purposes. In this study we aim to report the clinical features of three patients with a history of maculopathy caused by exposure to laser light in an entertainment venue.

Özet

Lazer cihazları tıp, askeri, endüstri ve eğlence amaçlı çok yaygın kullanılmaktadır. Bu yaygın kullanım kontrolsüz olduğunda kalıcı görme kaybı ile sonuçlanan makülopatilere yol açabilmektedir. Lazer araçlarının kontrolsüz ve uygun olmayan kullanımı katı kurallar ile kısıtlanmalı ve toplumdaki eğlence amaçlı kullanılan lazerlerin güvenli olduğu algısı değiştirilmelidir. Bu çalışmada eğlence mekanında lazer ışığına maruz kalma sonucu makülopati gelişen üç olgunun klinik özelliklerini sunmayı amaçladık.
