Can a laser beam hurt your eye if you see it a second and look away immediately?

It depends on the intensity of the laser. A class IV laser could burn through your skin, and if you were to look directly into the beam... I doubt you would have eyes anymore. An example of a class IV laser are the CO2 lasers used for cutting steel in industrial plants.





If someone shone a laser pointer into your eyes, one second probably won't do you any damage. Your reflexes (and common sense) would compel you to look away before serious damage was done to your eyes. I am sure that a red laser pointer would not do any noticeable damage to your eyes (as you wouldn't look into the beam for even one second), but a green, or perhaps one of the new blue ones would be more damaging.Can a laser beam hurt your eye if you see it a second and look away immediately?
It depends on the type of laser. Eye doctors use lasers to look at your eyes, and they are completely harmless.Can a laser beam hurt your eye if you see it a second and look away immediately?
NO but if you stare at it to LONG yes! you will be blind hun but your ok since you looked away from it
Basically it's like looking at a bright light. It's only temporary blindness. Prolonged exposure of coarse eventually show lasting affects.
no
only temporarily.
the degree of damage to your retina in your eye is according to the elapsed time in which u place the lazer to your eye
