Russian ravers have been left partially blinded by a light show at a party in Moscow.
Bad weather forced the organisers of the Aquamarine Open Air Festival to erect tents for the all night dance party. They used lasers which would usually only be used to point upward in the sky outside, which have had a devastating effect on some partygoers indoors.
Officials confirmed twelve cases of laser blindness at their Central Ophthalmological Clinic in Moscow and another 17 have been reported elsewhere in the city.
An ophthalmologist treating some of the cases said: "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."
