If a couple comes, the right side will be lasered, and if an individual comes, the left side will be lasered. After that, for double blinding, the laser prop will be placed on both sides so that the patient does not notice. Also, after six months of examining the patients, the evaluator and the examiner are not aware of the lasered side.
