Ah excellent, thanks! :)

Hey Guyfromhe, I just did a amsler grid test (thanks for that suggestion!) and set my desktop background to a bright white. Withthe Amsler grid, I didn't notice any wavy or blatantly missing lines. With the white screen, I noticed no dark spots! I feel much better now, but will be booking an...

Yeah seriously! Do you think it will be okay to have it checked in about 4/5 days? That's when he's back. Xoul thinks any damage done from a laser is not degenerative, do you know if this the case? (I understand nobody here is a doctor so please don't feel pressured to answer; I appreciate all...

Thanks Guyfromhe! I'm going to be booking an appointment with an optometrist next week to get it all checked out :) It irritates me though how the pen doesn't even have safety measure on its button let alone a class identification on it - it just a generic "danger" sticker! :(

Hi Jacob32123, My vision seems pretty normal for the state my eyes are in (dried and tried) I sometimes find myself squinting to focus things better when they're like this so I don't know if it's just my tired/dryness or if it's any effects of the laser. Nothing from what I can tell is...

Hi everyone, My co-worker brought a green 50mW laser to work and started shooting it in the office. I looked up once and it was reflecting off a window and went into my eye; after about a second I turned away when I realized what I was looking at. I told him to put it away but then he shot the...
