How Lasers Damage the Eyes. Be it an accident or on purpose, staring into a laser pointer can cause some serious damage to your eye. The kind of damage caused (permanent or temporary) is determined on a case by case basis. Damage also depends on how strong the laser is.
This procedure utilizes a highly specialized laser (excimer laser) designed to treat refractive errors, improve vision, and reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. This laser procedure alters the shape of the cornea, which is the transparent front covering of the eye. Though the excimer laser had been used for many years before, the development of LASIK is generally credited to Ioannis Pallikaris from Greece around 1991.
