Ya I am sure anything helps when trying to save $7800 for experimental stem cell procedures.. I would be worried about it not working. One of my brothers girlfriends was born with some sort of vision impairment and she got something like that done and it definitely made it worst. Wish I could...

Def help Xoul if anyone.. His eye damage is like insane compared to what happened to me.. Mines like a 1st degree burn vs a 3rd degree burn from the looks of it. Just to put in an anology. Mine may also go away eventually it already cleared up a lot compared to what it was originally.

Shit man.. I thought I had it bad.. I posted on your forum.. I stopped visiting these forums after my laser accident. My friend just asked me to help him with a project though still debating it..

Think I posted here when I had a similar incident... 2 years ago I got shot in the eye with a mere 100mW green laser that I was working on.. I have pictures posted somewhere.. But I went to Wills Eye in Philly and they pretty much told me im fucked as well.. Tho my eye damage is much less severe...

I actually did kinda fix it, I def melted the button when I tried to solder it back on. Im waiting on a case positive host from Jayrob that has a rear button. I got my spring soldered on but I removed the little button on the driver and just bypassed it with some small wire. I'd still be...

200mw green laser to the eye causes isntant blindness for a few minutes and then you get a Scotoma which is a spot in your retina, that may or may not ever go away and it severely disrupts things like reading. It happens so fast you cannot even blink. There is not much pain other than headaches...

Went to the Eye specialist Hospital today (pupils still dilated forgive spell errors) and got 5 hours of tests and some pretty cool pictures of my eyes are getting emailed to me.. Ill post the damage (as soon as I get pic's emailed to me) so you can see what its like to get hit with a 200mw'ish...

I am actually going to a specialist today. Will Eye Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. Supposidly one of the best in the country, I hope. The grey dot has not gone away and its been almost 2 days now.... My brain is adjusting to it so I can read better now with both eyes open than yesterday, where...

Thanks, I actually did just that yesterday. I took a button off a broken 5mw violet driver and put it on the wire leading to the 200mw green. Its a different button though, works alright to big to fit on the 200mw driver though. ALso the original button was 4 prong, this button is 2 prong, no...

I know this is an older thread but I just got back from a party where someone hit me in the left eye with a 200mw green laser as I entered the front door and I got flash blindness and can see a grey dot on that white chart above (been 5 hours still seeing grey dot).... I just got back from the...

Hello, This is my first post on this forum. I have been getting into lasers the last couple of months and I stumbled across Styropyro's tutorial on making a cheap ebay/dealsextreme laser into a powerful 200mw laser. Anyway I have 10 cheap ebay lasers and I decided to order a 200mw green module...
