Appendix B Laser Safety Information Classification of Lasers sue. Damage to the retina occurs only when one looks at the light sufficiently long that the product of the retinal irradiance and the viewing time exceeds the damage threshold. Optical energies above 1400 nm cause corneal and skin burns but do not affect the retina.
