Can the LaserMax® cause permanent eye damage?
Supermarket scanners are typically classified as “eyesafe” and are Class II lasers, just one class below our rating. Although our lasers are not considered eyesafe, it would be difficult to cause permanent eye damage with a Class IIIa laser. If the LaserMax® were to cross your vision path, your blink reflex would protect you before any permanent damage could occur. The effect could be compared to a flash bulb going off in front of your eyes. Do not point it into your or anyone else’s eyes and avoid reflections.
