“…Aircrews operating at low altitude to guide the aircraft commonly use handheld laser pointers and get exposed to the high power energy power which might damage to the retina [2][3][4]. In a major review, Barkana et al [5] discussed the laser induced injuries to the eye extensively.…”

“…from radiation from Class 2 laser exceeding exposure durations of 0.25 s or from Class 3R lasers is, however, not well characterized. A number of publications deal with the practical issues and qualitative risk associated with laser pointers [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], but pertinent retinal injury threshold data have so far not been reviewed comprehensively.
