Laser went in eye, straining/burning in left eye?
Hello, I was at church before yesterday where a full grown man with five children was playing around with a red laser pointer. It was night and I’m sure the laser brushed past my eye which is why I turned around and saw it in his hand. I didn’t really notice anything that night or the next morning, but in the afternoon I began noticing a moderate discomfort around the centre of my left eye, it is a straining/burning feeling. I know a normal laser wouldn’t have done anything, but if it was a powerful laser and it caused permanent damage, wouldn’t I have noticed the pain immediately or the next morning? I don’t think it could’ve been from something else earlier that day, the most light I would have come across is the light from the photocopier in the library or the barcode scanner in the gym, and I don’t have any previous eye problems. Today being the next morning, it is still there. I woke up not really noticing it much, but now it seems to be getting worse with short bursts of pain.

Best answer:

Those lasers have no effect on the human eye unless you stare into it for a long period of time like any light source. Maybe you should see an eye doc cause something else maybe wrong.
