( CNN) A 9-year-old boy in Greece permanently injured his left eye when he repeatedly gazed into a laser pointer’s green ray, physicians mention.
Examination uncovered a large hole in the macula, a small area in the retina that helps with discerning detail in faces and while reading or driving, medical doctors said in a instance report written Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine. Further imaging uncovered two more injured regions below the macular hole.
