My doctor did not use eye shields for eye thermage CPT. I felt severe heat for a few seconds, Has it hurt my eyesight?

Question

I asked him to use eye shields, but he did not accept and said corneal scratches can occur. I knew it is necessary for eye area to use eye shields but when the doctor emphasized, I doubted. How do I know my eyes are damaged or not?

Thank you for your question.  While it is unlikely you have any permanent damage, without more information and the results of an ocular examination it is impossible to answer your question definitively.
