Red laser hit my eye

[JohanCruyf]

Hi Guys,

I am very paranoid about lasers.
A 2-3 days ago somoene shined a laser in my eye (atleast I think it was a laser) from 1m away.

I didn't have any afterimage or flashblindness, should I worry?

Is there a self test I can do so I can keep my paranoidness away?


Thanks!

If the laser was indeed a mile away, and I don't see how you could know that, it is unlikely that the beam had not diverged enough to stop any possible damage. Sounds more like are are reacting to fear more than anything else.

1 meter, not a mile
