Ban laser pens!
My 14 year old granddaughter has fallen victim to one of these. A child was gifted a laser pen for his birthday by their parents. They took it to school and shone it in Lily's eye and the damage this has done is unreal
Why is this important?
My poor grand daughter
Gutted beyond words 😢
So proud of how brave you have been sweetheart. Nanas girl. Love you so bloody much. My heart is broken 💔 😢
DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN USE LAZERS!!
Another child was bought a lazer light as a birthday gift and took it to school. And it was accidently shone into Lily's right eye.
This is the state of her right eye now. The macula has hemorrhaged and it also has a lazer burn which has left scarring.
This scarring, the burn and the bleed has left her permanently without any focal or centre vision in the right eye. She only has a small amount of peripheral vision left in her right eye. She may as well be blind in that eye as she cant see out of it!
We've spend the last 5 days in and out of hospitals. She has had multiple scans, drops, tests the lot. 5 different consultants all coming to the same conclusion. Her eyesight can not be saved.
The macula is a small, round area at the center of the retina in the back of the eye that controls central vision, color vision, and fine detail. It's made up of many photoreceptor cells that detect light and send signals to the brain, which interprets them as images.
This could have all been avoided if a child was not given a lazer light as a toy.
These are so dangerous and I'm only thankful that it's only one eye and not both or my beautiful girl would be completely blind!
Please, never let your child have or use/play with a lazer light. You could potentially be saving someone's eyesight.
It's too late for Lily's vision but it's not too late to save someone else's.
I'm so incredibly proud of how lily has handled everything thrown at her this past week. She is such an inspiring young lady.
Me and Ryan Harrison are so proud of you Lily-May ! (Mum and dad)
