Sorry to hear this.

You have one pair of eyes.

Get yourself to the nearest eye doctor ASAP. Hopefully there is no lasting damage.

Optometrists in London ON | YP.ca?

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
