The patient was a technician performing laser epilation.The patient\'s vision was found to be 2/10 on the Snellen chart. Anterior segment findings were found to be normal.Fundus examination revealed a hemorrhagic hypopigmented burn in the macula due to laser, hemorrhage in the vitreous, and color fundus photograph was taken in both eyes. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed a burn in the macular area.The patient was given oral steroids, topical steroids, and topical nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and was called for examination on the 15th and 30th days.
