The community is advised to use laser pointers responsibly and not point it directly into someone’s eyes.
The pointers can cause permanent damage to the eyes.
If pointed into an eye it burns the macula, the area that enables the eye to view detailed central vision and to carry out tasks such as reading.
The pointers are used for educational purposes in classrooms and lecture rooms as well as during conventions and meetings.
The pointers are easily accessible and the public is using them in ways that the manufacturers never intended.
