Hey everyone,
I posted this same thread in the Safety & Legal Issues, but I suspect it was too wordy, since it now has ~80 and no replies after a few days.
So, I'm planning on potentially making a 250 mW 445nm.
I have a family history of macular degeneration, so I'm trying to be extra cautious around 400-500 nm light.
My question is, without goggles (which I do have), how far away must I point the laser away to be able to appreciate the beam and point without damaging my eyesight?
Thank you!
Alessandro
