I have another question about laser pointers.

Question

does it destroy your eye if you just look at the light it makes on the wall?

Answer 1

No. But laser pointers are very dangerous if aimed directly toward the eye. Even weakest lasers have a brightness which is about 1000 times of the sun! Looking directly at a laser light source can cause severe burns in the fovea, which is the most sensitive part of the retina.

Answer 2

No, of course not.

The damage done by a laser is by the heat it creates. Looking at the light it makes on a wall isn't going to create any heat.

Like shining a regular flashlight into your eyes, will make you see spots after for a few minutes, but you can look at the same light shone onto a wall all day and never see spots because of it.

Answer 3

eventually,,, maybe
