Hehe very true.
But yes, I treat my eyes with extreme caution, but my question was if there is anything else than vision damage that can occure from use of the laser?
By the way, I meant <5mW (less than 5mW).
OK, thanks for the answers.
Pity I can't get it any higher, but I'm already quite impressed at its power and range.
One more question; apart from the obvious hazard of long time exposure (60+ seconds) directly in the eye, are there any hazards that could come from such a laser pointer?
A...
Hey all. I'm trying to modify my green laser I bought for 15 bucks in china. It's a standard >5mW 532nm green laser.

What do I have to do to boost this baby up to 100mW?
