So whats the fuss bout IR??? i mean i though it was absorbed by most materials making reflections unlikely. also wouldn't it only be really harmful if it was focused at the eye, i heard IR does not focus like the visible light or something so i suppose it could get in your eyes if the laser was sort of pointed towards your eye but not directly. im rambling but just wondering under what circumstances can IR get into your eye at levels that can damage it? tho if the IR wasn't concentrated and spread over an area wouldn't it have very little energy??
