I'm curious what the maximum duration of afterimages from looking at the dot of a laser are, whats the maximum you have experienced?
I have had spots in my vision (No reflections, so i didnt hit my eye) today, but they gradually get less and less noticeable after exposure. I probably wont use this laser at close range as its a nuisance and concerning.
So has anyone experienced after images lasting hours or even days? this post makes me sound like an idiot, but I take safety very seriously and have not exposed myself to any sort of reflection.. beams always end on a black non-reflective surface. however, the hypochondriac is concerned =p
I didn't see any threads on the forum about this, and found only 1 online resource saying there are reports of them lasting days. Most of the resources are assuming <5mw pointers, which is why I'm asking you guys where >200mw is the norm =p. this was a 1 watt laser btw.
