Help!My Boyfriend is having trouble with his vision cause of reflecting laser scanner that he was scanning w?
He was scanning some items at the grocery store and the reflection of the scanner must have went into his eye. He is having trouble seeing and has constant moving static looking stuff in his eyes! Need info on this or website on injuries do to this and what to do besides go to doctor.

Thank you

Best answer:

There is nothing else to do other than go to a doctor. There is no way to diagnose a patient with just 4 lines of text explaining the problem. A doctor needs to physically see the patient to give any type of reasonable diagnosis or advice. Go see a doctor! This could be anything from no problem at all to irreversible eye damage. But only a doctor can tell. The store should pay for this, as it is an on the job injury (if he is an employee).

However, there is little chance that both eyes would be damaged. You say ‘there is static stuff in his eyes’. Does that mean you can see something? And can you see it in both eyes? If so, that doesn’t make much sense. Something else is going on. It would most likely be just one eye that was affected. Furthermore, you probably wont be able to see it, as the damage will occur on the retina, which is the backside of the eye. That is only visible when shining light in the patients eye. If it is on the front side of the eye (the part that’s blue or brown or white), then its probably something else.

If its not something you see, but its something HE sees, then it should also be in only one eye. If it is in both eyes, then it isnt an eye issue, its probably a neurologic issue, like a migrane headache, which can be triggered by looking at bright light. If it moves (in his vision) without his eye moving, then it almost certainly is neurology. Laser eye damage will usually be a blind spot in one eye.

Anyways, at the very least, call a doctor. If there is laser eye damage, the sooner you see a doctor, the better your chances for recovery. There really isnt much you can do by yourself.
