Laser pointers displayed for selling in a market in Sulaimani on November 11, 2022.
Sulaimani health department has asked relevant authorities to seize laser pointers installed on medals, pencils and children's toys. Sulaimani administration joint committees took over 1,200 pieces.
A directive signed by Sulaimani's top doctor asks the governor's office to seize the lasers in the medals, pencils and children's toys.
Citing health reasons, the top doctor says that if such lasers are pointed at the eye, they can burn the visual center and sometimes cause loss of sight.
Hawrami advised the Sulaimani administration to take legal action against negligence and violators. Many markets in the city sell such products as children find them amusing and entertaining.
A member of the high committee of the Sulaimani mayorship told KurdSat English that, following the Sulaimani health department's advice, they had started a campaign of joint committees to search shops, markets and places that sell lasers.
Lasers are not as widely used as they once were, but recently, many laser pointers have entered the market. Health experts warn that exposure to laser light could cause permanent vision loss or damage sensitive eye parts.
