I went to an "intergalactic masquerade" last night and at the entrance they had a laser projector shooting at people coming in. On the way out we were taking pictures and I accidentally looked at the emitter. It was only for a split second and I looked away immediately. The after image was about the same that you'd get from looking at headlights and only lasted a second-- much less than from a camera flash. Is that any indication of the radiation intensity that hits your retina?
The light coming out wasn't just straight laser beams, but was going through some kind of prisms to create a star effect, and the projections were moving. The unit was about the size of an external hard drive... I should have thought to look at the model. But I assume these things come in standardized wattages.
Should I be worried?
