Narrative

THE COCKPIT WAS HIT TWICE WITH A GREEN LASER LIGHT WHILE BEING VECTORED FOR A VISUAL APCH TO RWY 28R AT SFO. OUR POS WAS ON BASE LEG NEAR THE DUMBARTON BRIDGE; HEADING N. ALT WAS APPROX 5000 FT. WE NOTICED A BRIGHT GREEN SPARKLING LIGHT ON THE E SIDE OF THE BAY APPROX 1 MI W OF THE DUMBARTON AND WITHIN 1/2 MI OF THE SHORELINE (UNION CITY/FREMONT AREA). THE LASER THEN FOCUSED DIRECTLY INTO THE COCKPIT FOR 1-2 SECONDS. APPROX 10 SECONDS ALTER A SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THE FOCUSED LASER HIT US. THE LIGHT CAME DIRECTLY INTO THE COCKPIT FROM OUR 12 O'CLOCK POS. THE FO WAS FLYING AND SAID HE WAS OK TO CONTINUE THE APCH. I TAXIED TO THE GATE AFTER LNDG WITHOUT A PROB BUT HAD AN ODD SENSATION AND SLIGHTLY BLURRED VISION IN MY R EYE. I VISITED A LCL HOSPITAL EMER ROOM IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE ARPT. THERE APPEARS TO BE NO DAMAGE TO MY EYES FROM THE EXPOSURE TO THE LASER. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 754829: THE CAPT INFORMED NORCAL APCH AND THE LCL SFO TWR CTLR OF THE INCIDENT AT THE TIME IT OCCURRED. DISPATCH AND THE FODM WERE NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT AFTER LNDG IN SFO.
