Asked By:misafir in Ankara, TR

I get laser hair removal procedure on my face. But the practitioner started the procedure without putting any protective glasses on my eyes. I warned her and she told me as it was soprano ice, it was not necessary. I insist on and she put a big glass which is necessary when it comes to the procedure on legs etc. So the bottom of the glass was WIDE open. Also during the procedure my eyes were open. Is it possible that my eyes get damaged? How I can make sure? Thank you.
