Just curious, I decided that having a laser that can burn rubber or pop a balloon is not really that important to me. I found some rather cheap but working laser pointers on amazon.com for roughly $25. Its a so called "100mw" laser pointer, although by an overwhelming amount of reviews I have seen on it it performs much much much less than what is advertised. One individual went as far as saying it runs like a 30mw laser. Some have said less. It is practically very false advertisement. But like I said all I want is a super long range, laser pointer that uses AAA batteries at less than $55 price.

Anyways, I guess my question is if I were to use this laser to point to lets say...the side of a building that needs to get repaired, or a tree at about 3 blocks distance, and I look at where the dot is, without protective eye wear, can it still permanently damage my vision?
I have read reviews saying professors use it in lecture halls...wouldn't this mean that these students could sue the professors for permanently blinding them for looking where he is pointing?
Or am I not really getting this "danger at looking at where the dot is" to well?
If anyone can explain that would be great, Thanks.
