Direct intrabeam viewing may be hazardous (low eye hazard level), in particular
for deliberate ocular exposure. The beam may cause dazzle, flash-blindness and
after-images, particularly under low ambient light conditions. The risk of injury for
laser class 3R products is limited because of:
unintentional exposure would rarely reflect worst case conditions of (e.g.)
a)
beam alignment with the pupil, worst case accommodation,
inherent safety margin in the maximum permissible exposure to laser radi-
b)
ation (MPE)
natural aversion behaviour for exposure to bright light for the case of visible
c)
radiation.
