The last decade has seen the development of military lasers designed to blind. Medical professionals dedicated to the prevention and treatment of visual disability, and particularly ophthalmologists under the terms of their newly acquired Royal Charter, have a responsibility to: document this new technology; explain its medical effects; and influence the threshold at which these weapons might be used. Proposals to prohibit anti-eye laser warfare at The United Nations Convention Conference in September 1995 present a unique opportunity to stigmatize blinding as a method of warfare.
过去十年见证了旨在致盲的军事激光的发展。致力于预防和治疗视力残疾的医学专业人员，尤其是根据其新获得的皇家宪章条款的眼科医生，有责任：记录这项新技术；解释其医学影响；并影响这些武器可能被使用的阈值。1995年9月在联合国公约会议上提出的禁止反眼部激光战的提议，提供了一个将致盲作为一种战争手段加以谴责的独特机会。
