I've worked in communicaitons for quite a while. I ignored the warnings and what not and would look into a fiber optic cable to see the light to make sure I had the right cable. nah, those warnings don't mean anything...they're just like the warnings on the laser scanner at the grocery store.
Well I've had a spot on my eye for two years now, very small. Eye doctor examined my eyes for a full checkup. He said "you've got a very small scar tissue on your retina...that is causing the spot. you don't per chance work with fiber optics do you. Yep, burned a small spot on my retina.
I have since never looked into a fiber transmitter/cable again. Nor will I ever. So if you see somebody looking into the cable tell them to quit. And cap your transmitters. You only have one set of eyes.

1) looked into fiber
2) burned spot/scar tissue on retina
