A member asked:
Could somebody be blind after seeing 30mw laser directly or by reflection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: That much power, if directed into the center of the vision, can definitely cause blindness. Be careful when around lasers. There are laser goggles that can block specific laser wavelengths and protect your eyes.
