Re: Help Laser Pointer Possibly eye damage

No way to tell. It is hard to tell anything from what you wrote but from what I gather you got hit 1 second on multiple times hours apart.

1. After getting flashed the first time, why did you not take measures to avoid being flashed again...is safety glasses?

2. If you got hit for one second you might be fine but to be sure see an opthalmologist.

3. Maybe avoid using the laser until you get safety glasses. It is clear you cannot handle it safely without them.
 
Re: Help Laser Pointer Possibly eye damage

As IsaacT said, it is difficult to understand what you are trying to say but why and how did you repeatedly get hit in the eye with a laser? It also sounds like there is some irresponsibility going on with the handling of the laser. Make sure to follow safety precautions and definitely get some goggles.
 
Re: Help Laser Pointer Possibly eye damage

Ok so what was the power of the laser that you fired in your eye. Second do NOT ever fire a laser into your eye that is above 1mw in power or in other words never shoot your eye at all. Third, if something hurts you the first time don't shoot yourself again.

Please be careful we all care for each other's safety on these forums. If they are still like this consult your optomologist immediately as it can be eye damage.
 
Re: Help Laser Pointer Possibly eye damage

At 15 - 20 mW permanent eye damage is unlikely but still possible. Anything over 5mW can cause damage if its a direct hit to the eye. You didn't explain the exact way it happened, if it was a reflection or a direct hit to the eye.

Re: Help Laser Pointer Possibly eye damage

sorry but people like you shouldnt have a laser how can you have shined it in your eye so many times? lasers are not toys even the weak ones you shall use with caution.
 
Re: Help Laser Pointer Possibly eye damage

Just to clear something up, I admit that by mistake I pointed the laser in my eye for 1 second, the another 4 seconds was by a stupid friend of mine. And to use the laser isn't the problem;)
 
there is never a problem until you get permanent eye damage for life, let that be a lesson i hope.
