Laser for Nevus of Ota birthmark
It sounds like you were treated wtih Q-switched alexandrite laser (755 nm). You might want to try Q-switched Nd:YAG (1064 nm) laser which penetrates deeper. Q-switched lasers usually work well for Nevus of Ota, but numerous sessions may be required for best results. I would definitely use internal eyeshields to protect the eyes for any laser treatment done in close proximity to the eyes.
