Laser treatments are common in dermatology and other fields. Thermal energy from the treatment can cause discomfort and pain which has resulted in the use of virtual reality as a distraction. However, there are limited options for pediatric patients. Researchers at Nationwide Children’s Hospital developed a laser safe face shield designed to fit younger children needing laser treatments. The face shield decreases their pain sensation and anxiety through providing access to virtual reality simulations while simultaneously protecting the patient’s eyes.
