Excerpt

Lasers used for hair removal operate between 700 and 1000 nm to be absorbed by hair follicle melanin and destroyed by thermal injury [1]. Due to the high concentration of melanin in the retinal pigment epithelium, the retina is particularly susceptible to laser-related accidents. The use of alexandrite laser for esthetic purposes has been growing in recent years as well as its use by unqualified personnel, which can result in eye-level accidents [2‐4]. …
