ACNE PLZ: Stop nuts and peanut butter. Stop chocolate; cut down on dairy products. Wash with neutrogena acne wash and apply a bpo (benzoyl peroxide) cream or lotion -- something like clearasil -- on the affected areas at night. If it persists, see a dermatologist who may prescribe an oral antibiotic for you. No lasers.

Question 10

what are the signs of damaged vision if i accidentally looked at a laser point?

Accepted Answer

Tiny blind spot: If the laser beam you glanced at was of sufficient power to cause damage, it would burn the light receptors in it s path, destroying the ability to see at that point.  You would  notice with the eye that got exposed, a tiny blind spot.  This would gradually fade from your consciousness over time as the other eye would see at that point but you could always find it from the affected eye.
