Cone photoreceptor integrity assessed with adaptive optics imaging after laser pointer-induced retinal injury

Conclusion: Exposure to laser pointer radiation, however brief, can result in damage to the retina. Here, repeated imaging nine months later showed a decrease in the size of the lesions (ranging from 3.7 to 23.9%) compared with the first time point. However, the longer-term prognosis is likely permanent scarring.
