so i would not be too concerned if you can still see fine.
laser damage to your eyes tends to build up over time.
DVD lasers are very different to laser pointers. the beam is far narrower.
even if you did manage to scar your retina, the diameter of one of those lasers would be very small, resulting in very thin scars.
as a result you would not notice the scaring.
this is why fine lasers are so dangerous to your eye sight over prolonged periods as people don't tend to notice their eye sight getting worse.
lasers outside the visible range are particularly dangerous as you have no blink reflex to light you cannot see.
a little bit of damage on one occasion should not cause any real problems though.
dunk.
So you mean the more time I point it to me the more the damage...
Ok I was wearing sunglasses and glasses for sight fixxing too (I can;t see far... who do you call it) if they were help any... And the laser was like a very very small red dot...
So I think I should be just fine!!! Thanks for the info anyways...
Note that the diode was quite underpowered connected with series with a 220Ω resistor and +5V giving it 20mA or less (maybe still enough??)
Anyways i was a little scared but If I don't have a problem it's ok...
Thanks for all the answers guys!!!
Top Regards...
That means it was working in the same current pointer work so still ok...
