Can eyes be damaged from a BBL treatment?

May 23, 2017
Asked By:sreald in Corpus Christi, TX

I'm concerned about light entering my eyes peripherally, during BBL treatments, despite the anterior eyeball protective item. Can there be burns to the eyes or other adverse side effects? How can I completely protect my eyes from the light entering peripherally, transphenoidally, etc. during BBL treatment?
