Should I be concerned?

Hi I was shining my 200mw 660nm red laser into a red LED using 600nm-700nm safety goggles and the laser beams shined back but i think the goggles stopped the beam from hitting my eyes but this happened a few times and I'm not sure if the beam hit my eyes :undecided: should I be concerned ? :scared::thanks:

Do you have a link to your googles or know the OD rating?

Yes, you should always be concerned if you get a laser into your eyes. Googles or not.
It means you are not using them in a safe manner.

Now onto eye damage. Those ebay googles are usually crap. But chances are you probably don't have eye damage. But be very careful in future and buy some decent googles. I've heard OEM laser systems are good
