Abstract
AbstractThis study aimed to discuss severe ocular and periocular complications after dermatological laser treatment. This literature review evaluated published journal articles (clinical trials or scientific reviews) extracted from electronic databases (MEDLINE and PubMed) and the reference lists of related articles. Individual eyeball structures, such as chromophores, were found to interact with laser radiation. The type of damage was found to be influenced by the wavelength emitted by the laser-active medium. Moreover, in the absence of proper protection of the eyeballs, the structures that are crucial for vision can be damaged. In conclusion, laser treatment can also cause serious and irreversible complications. Appropriate patient selection, intraoperative techniques, early identification, and interventions for adverse postoperative effects are crucial to avoid major complications and even blindness.
