You are not an expert on optical safety and should not make sweeping, generalized statements as though you were.

I am an optical engineer, but don't specialize in eye-safe studies, and I wouldn't dare make a statement without consulting safety guidelines. The eye's sensitivity to wavelengths is exponentially variable, and very specific about some cutoffs - moreso than most biological phenomena, because the limiting factors are bandgaps of molecules, not cell structures.

Retz, I was replying to the same post you were. You were not the problem.
