Did my eyes got burned with the laser Q YAG V ? Should I go to the emergency room? (photos)

Question

I had this morning my brown spots remove with a laser call Q YAG V, six hours have past and my eyes are red and crying like crazy, and I can not stand it! I had the black googles on, but maybe didn't help. i have bad runny nose too, is anything I can do?

If you were injured in your eye with this laser you would have lost site or had dramatic change in vision and pain in the eye immediately.  You likely have just irritation from the area being treated.  I suggest speaking to your physician or seeing an eye doctor if you are concered.  I find that small laser eye stickers are safer in this area OR using an ocular shield to protect the entire cornea and retina -- FYI for future treatements.   See my co2 laser video the lady has eye shields!  Best, Dr. Emer.
