I was using the laser to take some hairs from my chest, when I dropped it on the floor.

I do live with anxiety so I have been overthinking everything that happened.

Now I’ve been reading that an exfoliation beam like this can affect your sight if you mistakenly get it in your eyes.
I feel my eyesight is a bit blurry but could this be down to my anxiety?
