Why do you have to wear protective glasses during laser tattoo removal?

Why do you have to wear protective glasses during laser tattoo removal?

Billy DeCola, founder of Studio Kiku, explains why everyone in the treatment room wears laser safety glasses until the technician says it is safe to take them off, why each lens is made for a particular laser and wavelength and labeled with its optical density (OD), why the glasses have to fit with no gaps at the side, why your own sunglasses will not protect your eyes no matter how dark the lenses are, and why small children and pets stay out of the laser room.
