    I am having a “silly” problem.  When I have the insert for my loupes (for the Erbium) I cannot control the fogging.  I don’t have this problem with the loupes alone.  Advice?  

    Have you tried “defogger” that us scuba people use?  Just use some liquid soap before you insert them, that ought to work.  Wash them off with soap, rinse and air dry.  If you wipe them off, you lose the “film”.

    Of course you can always use the “natural” defogger like us old divers still use–aaaaauuck, thwap!!  Rinse and air dry.:cheesy:

    Could this be just the initial excitement of using the laser? It should resolve with time!!

    Then again, David may just be right, and it will pass with time!

    Cheers!

    Hi All,

    Is eye protection necessary with the Waterlase? The rep says it is not needed. How can this be, if it is an Erbium:YAG like the Delight?

    You should wear eye protection, there is argument about the safe distance that is needed to get away from the laser ( 8-14 inches is one estimate) but remember this that the laser energy from the Erbium YSGG laser is absorbed by water in the cornea and lens……..

    Is it worth the risk. I wouldnt take the chance.
