Eye discomfort after laser pointer attack.
I was illuminated with a green laser pointer (from the side, for about 5 seconds) and now, 6 hours later, I have burning eyes.
Question:
Is this a cause for alarm? My eye doctor once said that there isn't much that can be done after being targeted with a laser pointer. What can help with the burning?
Can a laser pointer beam "dry out the eye"?
How can one best protect oneself?
What if (small) burns have occurred on the eye? Can they be treated/diagnosed?
