Investigation Underway
Attendees of Yuga Labs' ApeFest event in Hong Kong on Nov. 4 have reported eye-related issues, including burns, damaged vision, and extreme pain. Yuga Labs' official X account has acknowledged the reports and is currently investigating the cause behind these incidents.
Minority Affected
Yuga Labs has stated that less than 1% of the attendees have experienced eye-related symptoms. Furthermore, the majority of those affected have seen improvements in their conditions over time.
Crypto Twitter Buzz
The Hong Kong event has captured the attention of Crypto Twitter, with many users speculating about the cause of the eye injuries. Some have drawn comparisons to a similar incident six years ago, where third-party contractors mistakenly installed disinfecting ultraviolet lights instead of stage lights, resulting in similar eye injuries.
Effects of UV Lights
It is believed that the effects of the UV lights could last from a few hours to a few days, depending on the amount of exposure.
Organizer Criticism
On social media platforms, many criticized the event organizers for not taking basic medical hazards into account. Attendees expressed their disappointment, with one person mentioning that they had taken out loans to attend the event and are now faced with unexpected medical bills.
