Fortunately, my eye doctor has never seen anything that looks like damage, and aside from extreme nearsightedness totally unrelated to lasers, my eyes work fine.
These ultra-powerful lasers that will toast your retinas instantly scare the shit out of me. The fact that you can buy a tattoo removal gun on AliExpress (https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806988159318.html) is just insane. The kinds of mass-violence you could commit with a device like are outrageous, I figure it's only a matter of time before someone uses something like this against an unsuspecting crowd.
Even just using the wrong kinds of lasers or UV lights at a concert can have awful consequences: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2008/jul/16/news.seanmicha... / https://arstechnica.com/health/2023/11/bored-ape-creator-say...
If this kind of thing can happen by accident, imagine what could be done on purpose.
