Laser Eye Injury
An eye exposure to pulsed 1064 nm laser radiation was reported on the evening of August 28, 2020. In-depth medical imaging of the person's eye confirmed the beam penetrated all the way through the retina to the choroid, resulting in permanent retinal damage. The estimated exposure was ~6100 times the maximum permissible exposure limit (MPE). The exposed person now has a blind spot in their central field of vision about the size of a baseball held at arm's length.
