Thanks for the kind words, guys. My eye has basically been hurting since Saturday night when it happened. I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday, and if it's still hurting then, I'm going to mention it to him. Well, I might mention it anyway, but you know what I mean. I don't know the output power of the laser that got me. I do know it was RGB color mixing, which means the total output could be several hundred MW, but it's unlikely I got the full brunt of that. I didn't get any burning feeling or tearing, so maybe I'm lucky?
Yes, Reks, every laserist knows that sign. Only problem is that I lack a remaining eye if this one goes. Good luck with that freon.
Edit: Good LORD, that sign is huge (that's what she said). Replaced with a more sane sized one.
