The amount of safety when working with lasers is ridiculous. And for a good reason, you can get permanent eye damage faster than the blink of an eye.

Please, don't play with lasers. At all. Even supposedly "safe" lasers can output far more light than expected.

Another friend’s favorite saying is, “do not look into laser with remaining eye.”
