You are fine: The most common problem associated with laser pointers is a condition called flash blindness. It is when the eye becomes dazzled after being exposed to a bright light. It also after having their picture taken by a camera with a flash. This condition is temporary.Most laser pointers are classified as type II or IIIA.No cases of permanent damage from laser pointers labeled type II or IIIA .
