Hmm, so going a little off topic, any of you guys ever get your eyes checked for laser damage specifically?

Yep. Actually need to get around to posting about it.
Short version: no damage.

Congrats!
Stupidest thing I ever did with lasers was glance into a green laser that wend IR on me after falling. Hopefully no damage... at least nothing I've noticed in the 1-2 months since, and I didn't notice anything immediately after.
Was also hit in the eye from 4-5 feet by a drunk idiot friend who was playing around with a 30-50mW greenie... Saw a spot for a few minutes, but that was it.
Laser safety just isn't something that's really known by people in general public.

Note: I hadn't had any direct exposure incident.

The main thing I was concerned about was actually some sort of exposure while shooting sunsets on my DSLR.

Only direct exposure incident was with a 30-50mW green...
This one to be exact: 50mW 532nm High Power Flashlight Style Green Laser Pointer for Sale at GadgetTown.com
With the IR incident, I was looking at the diode from an angle... so I don't know if there was a direct hit. I assume I would have felt something from a direct hit from a "200mW" green that went IR.

Might wanna get that checked out.
I saw the eye doctor about a month ago, eyes are the same as they always been, crap since video games came to me.
But no holes on me eyes.

Yeah, I think the amount of time I've spent reading in poor lighting and the amount of time I spent in front of the computer probably did A LOT more damage to date than lasers.
I was wearing glasses at the time, that do reduce light coming through by 10% and reflect a little as well, so hopefully that helped. Hit was also at an angle.
Wouldn't surprise me to learn that I have a some damage though.... did every single at home test you can imagine, aside from the natural blind spot I wasn't able to detect any others.
Hopefully next time a laser beam goes near my eye it's for lasik
