Several attendees of Yuga Labs’ ApeFest reported eye problems, raising questions about the NFT event’s safety and lighting used.
ApeFest, an event hosted by Yuga Labs, the creator of Bored Ape Yacht Club and Mutant Ape Yacht Club, in Hong Kong over the weekend, left several visitors with eye problems.
“You’ve likely most literally got your eyes burnt with UV like I did,” Zduńczyk added. “Without proper treatment, it may cause long lasting vision impairment and other serious damage.” Zduńczyk suggested the symptoms were similar to those experienced by partygoers at another event in Hong Kong in 2017 — attributed to the wrong type of bulbs being installed.
“I woke up at 4 a.m. and couldn’t see anymore. Had so much pain and my whole skin is burned. Needed to go to the hospital. The doctor told me the UV of the lightning of the stage did it. It has the same effect as sunlight. Still can not see normally,” fellow community member “Crypto June” replied, echoing the symptoms of many others.
