Nowadays laser is extensively used in various industrial, communicative, medical, and other fields. Using laser in medicine has enabled physicians to perform the most accurate and finest operations within few minutes. Non-observance of safety points during laser performance could be seriously harmful for the medical staff and the patient. Therefore, in order to prevent the possible damage of this electromagnetic energy, some international standard points are advised.
