Russian ravers blinded by the laser light at all-night party - GoFuckYourself.com

At least a dozen Russian ravers suffered partial loss of vision after their eyes were burned during a laser light show outside Moscow.
Moscow health department officials confirmed 12 cases of laser-blindness, and the daily Kommersant newspaper reported 17 others were registered at a second city hospital.

"They all have retinal burns, scarring is visible on them. Loss of vision in individual cases is as high as 80 percent, and regaining it is already impossible," an ophthalmologist told Kommersant.

The all-night Aquamarine Open Air Festival, held July 5 about 50 miles northeast of Moscow, was forced into tents because of rain. Powerful lasers designed to illuminate the sky were instead refracted into ravers' eyes. Many complained of eye and vision problems right after the show. Partyers also claimed the lasers damaged their cameras and video recorders. Here's a photo from the show.

The owner of a Moscow laser rental company told Reuters the accidental blindings were due to "illiteracy on the part of technicians."

in the U.S. all of the party-goers would be set financially for life

in Russia I'm guessing all they will get is lifetime retinal damage?

Yeah you have to be careful. We have these illegal parties here weekly too and you never know who set up the tech stuff so you have to take your own responsibility.

Losing your sight is a bit of a downer....... looks like they wont be able to see now, mainly because they've been blinded.
