What does it mean when laser pointers on the eye cause no effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Laser pointer: While there is some risk that a laser pointer could cause eye damage, it would be hard to do. The laser pointer would have to focused on the eye at close range and probably the person would have to be prevented from blinking.Thus laser pointer are not usually thought of as dangerous to eyes.
