      I got my eyes tested back in January and I have been told my eyes are ok! So no they have not been affected, however this is mainly due to our strict rules for safety, when working with lasers there are rules and guidelines to follow to prevent damaging yourself or people around you, the laser beams are supposed to be kept at waist height and far away from your eyes, second is that we wear special goggles to ensure that if the laser were to ever go towards our eyes the goggle would block the laser form actually reaching your eyes. I am wearing a pair of these goggles in my profile picture!
