Eye protection isn't necessary, but we don't recommend looking directly at the LEDs initially, as it can be uncomfortable until your eyes are accustomed to the light. For this reason, we recommend closing your eyes until you find that it’s comfortable to open them. If your eyes are more sensitive to light or if you take medications that have a history of causing photosensitivity (see this article), we recommend that you consult with your physician before treating with a Joovv Device.
