Laser Eyewear

I ordered a laser pointer from dealextreme and the website says this:
Most of these and other made in China green lasers do not have IR filters and thus can be hazardous to eyes without proper protective eye wear. By all means if you are unsure of what this means get the 5mW version for your safety.
Do I need protective eyewear, or do they just suggest it or point it out so that you are aware and wont shine it in your eye?

to summarize, do i NEED eyewear, or is it just incase you point it in your eye - in other words Can i look at it on the wall, etc. safely?
Does it reflect back from the wall or other objects that could harm me?

It is YOUR eyes vs paying for glasses. I would buy that eye wear, better safe than sorry.

More Details at: www.tmart.com Product Description: The laser beam is harmful to eyes. If you were to shine these in your eye, the damage would be ...

I want to buy a green laser and have the option of 5, 10, 20, 30 mW
I am told that more than 5 mW can damage your eyes without eyewear, but I dont want a 5mW laser, should i get a 10 or a 20 mW, or would that just be risking it? (like comon, you mean to tell me 5mW wont hurt ur eyes, but the 10 will? haha)

Thanks!
Which one?

be more specific

I would go for a 50mW. If you are responsible and careful, nothing bad will happen, and 50mW got a sick beam in the dark.

About two months ago I went in for the first time to have laser hair removal performed on the area in between my eyebrows and above my nose. The doctor told me that normally patients wear protective eyewear but that he could not perform it if I wore them. He told me I would be fine as long as I kept my eyes closed during the procedure. Afterwards I didn't have any problems with my eyes. Today I went in for my second treatment and also did not wear eyewear. Since then (about 2 hours ago) my eyes have been pretty sensitive to light. They feel like they would if I spent a little too much time outside without sunglasses. I have not had any problems with my vision or any significant discomfort, just some sensitivity to light.

Could this have caused any damage to my eyes? Should I schedule an appointment with an opthalmologist?

Yes...that would be very...wise. To get it checked out, I mean. But an even wiser thing to do would be to just wax in between your brows from now on. It's very quick...hardly hurts at all, if you do it right. Unless you have a REALLY bushy uni! lol. Sorry... I probably shouldn't joke, lol. But anyways, just go get it checked out & you should be fine. Good luck! :)
