What safety precautions do laser eye surgeons take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Careful use: Laser can be destructive so laser surgeons observe the area aimed at carefully and only apply the energy to the right spot. Observers if in the room can wear protective eyewear. The lasers are very precise and aiming is precise so damage from this treatment is rare.
