I really can't believe someone would even joke about shining a laser into eyes.
Does anyone know anything about this? Is it safe to shine in people eyes while they are driving just for fun? I'm guessing red iridium safety lenses are enough protection (have worked so far!). This thing is just dangerous which makes it fun! It starts burning things right away, which is the purpose of it, to heat things in sealed glass test tubes with different atmospheres.

Do you see the irony? I'm legally blind so a joke about blinding people. I'm just waiting to get swamped with useless safety info, but no real info like what kind of lenses are safe to view indirect laser light. Things like ,make sure you have an approved laser table and mounting devices as well as interlocks on the doors and windows to the room where its being used. How about just common sense? Anyways I wonder what kind of duty cycle would be needed to burn things without burning the laser out. I would think if the pulses were fast enough you could get close to the effect of it being solidly on, since the heat would stay in the objects longer then the off cycle. I know as far as vision goes pulsed red lasers appear much brighter, but they are also driving the laser much harder because they can.
As some folks have left out a few important details about driving one of these in this thread, you'll probably turn it into a dim blue Led in under 200 nanoseconds, anyways.
What if I just shine it into my eyes for just a few seconds? Surely an ebay item out of china would be 100% safe for an uneducated user. I hear they use lasers to fix people eyes; how many seconds should I shine it in my eyes to fix my eye condition?
OK are we done with the lecturing? I have the best safety equipment: A working brain, common sense, emotional maturity and the ability/desire to learn the hazards BEFORE I attempt an experiment. Knowing first hand how much it sucks to lose some of your vision I'm extra cautious not to further that.

The fact that you can report the beam shape and are asking safety advice contradicts this statement. The only good thing here is that at blue colors you sometimes know you are screwed before you lose it all. Other wavelengths are worse.

Everything about your interaction on this forum suggests you are mentally impaired with the learning age of a young child. The fact that you keep attempting to claim otherwise seems to be a classic example of the Dunning Kruger effect.
Please, for your own safety (and others!), stop playing with dangerous things.
OK can we get back to the subject and drop the name calling? Just because you don't directly say say "cuz u r stoopid" doesn't mean thats not how its interpreted. Everyone here claims how much more intelligent they are then me, but yet they can't figure out that I might not be serious about blinding another person. Does that show good critical thinking?
So...

Seconded.
I don't care what rpi does to his own eyes, but I do care what he might do to the eyes of people unfortunate enough to be within his range. Or encourages beginners to do.

Do you know I was wearing approved safety goggles and that the beam was pointed onto a dark surface with my hand on the off switch in a locked room? You need to find these things out before lecturing people.
