Laser Pointer Burns Hole in Boy's Retina
June 21, 2018 -- A boy in Greece burned a hole in his retina after repeatedly gazing into a laser pointer's beam, doctors say.
They discovered a large hole is in the macular, an area in the retina that helps distinguish detail in faces and while reading or driving. There was also damage to two areas below the macular hole, CNN reported.

I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

It's a laser. Low intensity over time can do damage, too.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
