Went to a supposedly experienced MD (cosmetic/laser dermatologist) for laser hair removal on my chin. She treated my type IV skin for the first time today with the GentleYAG. At no time did she provide me with protective goggles or even tell me to close my eyes. I had my eyes open during most of the procedure. Is that normal or acceptable? Is there any reasonable explanation of how an "experienced" practitioner would not think to protect my eyes? What damage might have done to my retina? Thanks.
