What is the purpose of using laser goggles during treatment?

The primary purpose of using laser goggles during treatment is to protect the eyes from laser exposure. Lasers emit concentrated beams of light that can cause significant damage to the eyes if proper precautions are not taken. These specialized goggles are designed to filter out specific wavelengths of laser light, ensuring that the eyes remain safe while the treatment is performed. By wearing laser goggles, operators and patients can prevent potential burns or permanent vision impairment that could occur from accidental exposure to the laser beam. Safety is a critical aspect of any laser procedure, and protective eyewear is a fundamental requirement to ensure both patient and practitioner safety.
