Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess public knowledge of the dangers posed by handheld laser devices, following a rise in accidental retinal injuries linked to their misuse.
- Results showed that while a majority recognized the harmful potential of laser pointers, many were unaware of the specific risks associated with blue lasers, with only 38% knowing which eye structure is most at risk from damage.
- The findings indicate a need for targeted awareness campaigns and stricter regulations to protect against the misuse of high-powered handheld lasers.
