February 21, 2018
Asked By:StephChef in Los Angeles, CA

Am worried about potential eye injuries especially that recently I ve been experiencing red eyes (maybe bcz of working on PC for many hours) and a feeling like a thunder or a lightening striking with laser shots around the eyes... Any answer regarding possible eye damage induced by laser hair bleaching using Q-switch Nd:YAG laser.
