Imaging of Titanium:Sapphire Laser Retinal Injury by Adaptive Optics Fundus Imaging and Fourier-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography

Very small, localized photoreceptor disruptions can be detected in patients with minimal titanium:sapphire laser injury by cross-sectional imaging using OCT, but their extent was delineated more precisely by en face AO imaging. Because the area of the photoreceptor disruption is very small, especially in the nonsymptomatic fellow eye, it is strongly recommended that laser workers-even those without visual symptoms-be examined by FD-OCT, an AO camera, or both if they have not worn protective goggles while using a laser.
