Can Receiving A Laser Treatment Cause Damage to my Eyes?

October 4, 2011
Asked By:Pazzobello in Blaine, MN

Yesterday I got my first BBL treatment. She placed some plastic goggles over my eyes and I kept them closed the entire time. Each flash caused them to water excessively. I could still see the flashes especially when it was directly above or below my eyes. Today I am still seeing the spots from the flashes. Did the laser cause damage and will it get better? Also, what if I need another treatment, how should I protect my eyes better?
