Moscow, July 14: Dozens of young revellers were blinded by a laser show at a dance and music festival near Moscow last week and doctors fear the damage may be irreparable, the Kommersant daily reported on Monday.

"More than 30 people between the ages of 16 and 30 have ended up in hospitals in the capital with the same diagnosis-- damaged retinas - since July 7," the report said, quoting doctors.

Does this mean I shouldn't use my laser pointer to play with my cat?

if they were playing “Blinded by the Light,” that’d be one thing. But if not, this is unacceptable.

Since a laser is decent-level technology, wouldn’t it be better to say they were Blinded by Science?
