Bored Ape Yacht Club company Yuga Labs says it is "aware of the eye-related issues" suffered by attendees of the ApeFest Hong Event that took place over the weekend, and is encouraging people experiencing symptoms "to seek medical attention just in case."
ApeFest Hong Kong was a three-day event for Bored Ape and Mutant Ape owners. It was basically blockchain BlizzCon: A Mecca for NFT true believers promising community events, meetups with fellow JPG owners, "exclusive merchandise" (of course), and a series of musical events to close things out. Initially at least, it seemed that a good time was had by all, although the festive atmosphere may have been dampened now and then by moments of commiseration over the very big, ugly, obviously-this-was-going-to-happen NFT market crash.
