Hi guys im really worries about my left eye right now. I was playing around with my laser and trying to make a laser safety goggles the laser baisiccally slipped out and got into my eye. Right now i dont exactly see a black dot but a small grey streak to the right of the focus of my eye...

What should i do im really stressed right now and i dont know where eye specialists are and the closest hospital is about 30minutes away from where i live. This has happened about 20minutes ago. :'(

Unless there is a resident eye doctor I am not sure if the ER could help as there is no external trauma. A phone call may help to save you waiting unnecessarily, good luck!

Go to ER for immediate help--then see an MD/Ophthalmologist ASAP if hospital does not have one on staff who can examine your eye---an optometrist is only for getting glasses.

Inflamation from laser damage to retina can cause additional damage if there is inflamation. You need an expert Ophthalmologist MD's opinion as to what to do or not do after a through examination of your eye.

Nobody on here will be able to help you, unless they are specialized eye doctors. As many have said, head to the closest hospital and let them know what happened! Best of luck bud :)
