    Hit in eye with 1000mw 445nm blue laser

    Thanks, Madmacmo. I really appreciate your kind words. If I ever manage to afford the treatment, I will definitely be reporting back with the results.

    Hit in eye with 1000mw 445nm blue laser

    Yep, I still check in from time to time. Status is the same, no changes - blind spot/poor low light/blurry vision in the right eye. I am reminded every single day of my mistake. You can't ignore a vision problem, unless you close your eyes (which I do sometimes just so I don't see it). I am...

    Hit in eye with 1000mw 445nm blue laser

    I've been considering stem cell treatments from a clinic such as this one: Home Page I've emailed their clinic and they do claim to perform treatment for eye-related injuries, but that's about far into detail as they went. I would really like to find some first hand accounts or get a better...

    Hit in eye with 1000mw 445nm blue laser

    Wow, I'm really sorry for your mother :(. I hope she is able to heal. It's amazing that she didn't notice the eye wasn't working until later. The way the brain perceives what the eye sees is boggling to me. :confused:

    Hit in eye with 1000mw 445nm blue laser

    I think I will pass on any experiments. :eek: Oh, and I'm going to keep the laser, since it has a greater significance to me than it would anyone else. Also, I want to be able to show people the laser that took my sight in an instant. :p

    Hit in eye with 1000mw 445nm blue laser

    Something like this: The cross hairs of course represent my center of vision. I viewed this picture about 2 feet away from my monitor and did my best to draw in my peripheral vision.

    Hit in eye with 1000mw 445nm blue laser

    Just thought I would throw an update out there, as I haven't really been back to the site. The blind spot (scotoma) has not changed a whole lot, except maybe it's a bit more diffused whereas before it had a pretty defined outline. I can't really say if it's larger, but it's definitely not...

    Hit in eye with 1000mw 445nm blue laser

    It's been bothering me more and more as time goes by. I think the blind spot has actually gotten a slightly larger, though I can't say for sure. My ability to focus in this eye is also hindered. I notice I have to strain a lot harder to bring things into focus than I do with my other eye. I'm...

    Hit in eye with 1000mw 445nm blue laser

    It's pretty much the same. I still have the blind spot, and was effectively told by the opthamologist that it would probably be there the rest of my life. That doesn't bother me TOO much, since it isn't very inhibiting.

    Lasersman: Avoid like the plague

    Intentional or unintentional, deception is deception. However, I have my personal doubts that they are all totally oblivious to how bad they're ripping people off. Also, generally speaking, ignorance is never an excuse.:tsk:

    Lasersman: Avoid like the plague

    Sorry, let me be specific. Most Chinese LASER vendors are fraudulent, in the sense that they often claim a laser is far more powerful than it actually is in order to deceive you and charge you more for less. We can play a little game if you want - you make a list of reputable chinese laser...

    Lasersman: Avoid like the plague

    So far a whopping 2 or 3 good ones have been named out of the hundreds of bogus ones. I stand by my statement that MOST chinese vendors are fraudulent. Do you work for them or something? Why are you getting so worked up?

    Wicked Laser ads?

    ARGH CURSE YOU SEARCH! I promise I looked for "Wicked lasers ads" and didn't find any posts... oh well I know I know... Hypocracy is just a hot button for me.... But if money is the bottom line, hell, lets put porn ads on here and make some real dough! Wait, you say that crosses the line? AH...

    Yeah, there's alot of ads, but there's only one in particular that really bugs me... :tsk: :tsk: :tsk:

    Wicked Laser ads?

    So it strikes me as a little odd that as much as this forum preaches about the horrors of Wicked Laser, we have advertisements for them... I understand ads pay the bills, but I just can't help but feel like we're being a little hypocritical... Somebody could get the impression that they are a...

    suggest me good 1W laser

    Do yourself a favor and at least get yourself a pair of Eagle Pair protective glasses. And don't shine it any aircraft/houses/people/animals/anything reflective. 1 Watt lasers are serious business. http://laserpointerforums.com/f53/hit-eye-1000mw-445nm-blue-laser-69469.html

    SOPA/PIPA blackouts

    Ah, that clears things up, thanks. I tried to find info about them on my own but Google didn't yield results that seemed relevant. But no, I still don't hold any grudges against the 445 diodes. My laser apologized and we're friends again. :p
