I am an Aesthetician proving service with the I.P.L machine. I use protective lenses. Recently I have noticed a deterioration in my eye sight.(I was told the begining of Cataracts). I am 51.Could the U.V. rays from the I.P.L cause problems with my sight. I have worn corrective lenses since childhood.
