Glad to hear your eyes are OK.

I'm not going to doctors because there is nothing wrong with my eye (luckily)!
Not because I don't want to...

I trust the optician.

Opticians usually are not interesting in retina. I doubt they would keep expansive devices for retina inspections. They surely have devices for measuring lens and corne shape and optical qualities .. as they can correct those. But optician is not ophthalmologist. And we have references (Xoul's case) that even ER ambulances may misjudge eye damage caused by laser. Always seek specialist, who can inspect retina ..

Preferably without the blood splotch .. or any visible scarring ..

Well we did our part trying to convince him .
In the end , its up to himself to determine what is the best for his eyes despite of the technical advices given.
So there we go then

Thanks for the help anyway.

Its a 1 in a 1000 chance that there is any damage so I'm not worried anymore like I was at first, It must have been like the placebo effect where because I thought I would have damage I imagined it was there!
