Hi all, looking for a serious answer here. I Have been playing with a 2.5w arctic spyder 3 on high power mode looking directly at the dot and beam everyday for 2 months now at very close distances off of various surfaces without the safety glasses and have no noticeable eye damage and even had a full eye exam (oct retinal exam included) at an optometrist with no issues whatsoever. Does anyone have an explanation? I need an answer thank you.
Edit:
I am being entirely honest I now realise how extremely stupid and careless I was coupled with the fact that i didn't do adequate research on laser safety, i have now sold the laser. I cannot stress enough that I am being honest, from this experience I now know a lot of what is being said is bull for example, i think the general consensus that looking at the dot of a laser over 50w can cause damage is false.
