Howdy. I'm a noob with a 5mW 405nm and some OD 6 safety goggles, and right now just viewing the dot on a non-reflective surface about 10 feet from my face feels dangerous, like my eyeballs are going to melt.
However on youtube I see people using lasers with ridiculous power levels, such as this thing
and they're seemingly fine somehow. How the hell is a man using this thing? Does he have some 500 dollar safety goggles on? A welding mask?
Is there another factor I'm missing here that determines how dangerous a laser is? I don't want to accidentally hurt myself or anyone when working with higher wattage one day.
Thank you for any and all answers provided.
