    Update to my case posted in "Damaged eyes?" sticky thread - 6 years later

    I came across my account here and am glad that thread was stickied. Excuse my immaturity at the time :) 6.5 years after the ~0.5 sec direct exposure @ 6 inches from a very cheap "200mW" green laser pointer that likely emitted mostly IR, I am effectively, in every practical way 100% healed...

    Operating position of halogen bulb?

    I was wanting to build one of the "fire flashlights" that have been demonstrated before but was wondering about whether the fact that the operating position of the Osram 64623 being "s 90" could cause any problems. This seems to mean that you can turn the bulb 90 degrees in any axis from...

    want to build a MAG100...

    Why would you use a 62138? It has a life of 25 hours.. Go for the 64623, its the one used in the "fire flashlight" video posted months ago.

    Damaged eyes?

    I understand what Kiessling is doing and I edited my post already to get rid of false information. I told the doctor I was wearing contacts, he even acknowledged that fact that they were off for testing and got me lenses to hold infront of my eye so I could look at a grid and tell him how much...

    Damaged eyes?

    I edited my first post because theres a chance people would stop there and go and get those drops. It was misinformation but I never said that its totally safe, I said it should be. I don't want to nitpick words, and I don't want to start arguments, I was writing what I thought at the time...

    Damaged eyes?

    I edited my first post, and why would you claim that I'm using them irresponsibly? The doctor told me I should use them.. I simply said what it says on the package that they MAY be used that way; I never said that its smart to do so. If they're so dangerous why didn't the doctor even tell me...

    Damaged eyes?

    I'm in Canada :D Stephenmadpotato, how's your eye going? Yes, the first pill is a multivitamin and it's available in more drug stores I believe. EDITED: Read following posts and do not use the drops unless directed by a doctor.

    Damaged eyes?

    Alright. I saw an opthamologist, and he looked at the spot and told me that that's what it looks like when people stare at the sun. He saw a redish burn, but very small. He told me its healing (I can see that it is too) but it will leave a small spot. My other eye and brain will compensate...

    Damaged eyes?

    Very well written. ^ So I saw an optometrist (EDIT: I think just an optician, but he knew his stuff) and he looked at my retina using some sortof scope and said that he sees no damage. He said he sees the blood vessels, etc and it looks healthy. I still see a little bit of missing vision...

    Damaged eyes?

    Wow. Do you by any chance also have like a +7 or so prescription and astigmatism? Live in Toronto too? My dot isnt too bad. I'm using a standard 1280x800 laptop lcd screen but only using it about 1.3 feet or so from my face. I can read text fine, but thats cause I know the words I'm reading...

    Damaged eyes?

    I'm not sure exaxtly what kind of doctor I'm seeing tomorrow, but they say they can look at my retina and tell me what to do. I'll update asap and say what they have said Yeah, I do realise its my brain compensating for the lack of vision. Thats why I said it "seems" to be getting better :X

    Damaged eyes?

    I was just about to make a post concerning this issue when I saw this in the thread list. I have purchased a "200mW" green laser from Dealextreme, and this has happened to me. I will not go into details, the point is, 5 or 6 inches away from my eye, directly into the macula, 0.5 sec or so...

    Please help, powering a laser diode!

    No no no no nonononononnono! You need optics and a driver board. Two of the pins are for power and I'm not sure at all what the third is for, and I'm not sure at all exactly what the driverboard does but I assume it limits current, etc. But there are lots of components inside it. A single...
