Can V-Beam Laser cause eye damage if flash is viewed without goggles?

If the eye was damaged, you notice it right away.  The flash will be very bright but not damage your eye in one flash as long as it doesn't go directly into your eye.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It is unlikely that there is any issue with your eyes. I have done this to myself, with everyone else protected, inadvertently. It can cause a temporary sensation like when you get a flash bulb go off in your eyes. Eye injuries will be occur immediately, so if no problems now, you won't have any. It is normal for everyone to have protection on during any firing of the laser. I use metal shields for patients always,  they are the safest. 

Highly unlikely to have caused eye damage as the floor would have absorbed most of the energy. Regardless, it is industry standard to place eye protection on everyone even before the the laser is calibrated. That is my opinion and may not be shared by other Specialists on this forum. Dr Davin LimLaser Dermatologist
