IPL and floaters

[Gretchen]

Argh. Maddy I am sorry to hear this. I have been getting IPLs for about 2 years now. I have had 8 so far with very good results. So much so that I am never on here anymore. And I have not had any complications (knock wood). I get my IPLs from Dr Friedman at Stanford who is a very serious corneal spec and I will mention this to him when I go back in (probably in a couple months) to get his take. There is no question that you had a complication and that just blows. I'm sorry.

Indrep mentions retinal damage from "laser" in this thread. IPL is not laser.

I had ıpl an my shoulders for hair removal with unprotective eye glasses (solarium glasses )but I did not know I had floaters and blurriness and dry eyes after session and ıpl is a terrible idea. Even you should not go through this procedure.

I am medical student and I have searched evidence based medicine websites and articles. There is a link between and eye floaters. This is not mentioned because it will bring a big sound and destroy to beauty centers and laser device manufacturers.

There is no high quality proof that IPL helps dry eyes. of course Some of der eye patients' symptoms improve but this does not mean that you will get benefit. I have dry eyes BECAUSE OF IPL itself. I have also blurriness and floaters in my eyes. You should think twice pros and cons. God helps all of us.
