It's a Blue Dental Curing Light.
Visible light can cause blindness if extremely bright and/or prolonged.
It can if you are looking directly at it when it explodes, the UV light burns the retina.
Light curing refers to the method by which certain dental materials are tranformed from a liquid or gel form to a solid. Dental composites (tooth colored restorations) cavity liners, and sealants can all be light cured. They start out in a fluid or semi-fluid state, and when the dentist has placed the material as desired, a very bright blue light (called a curing light) is shined on the material for a few brief seconds. The material immediately is tranformed into a solid immovable state. This method has been in widespread use throughout dentistry for more than 30 years.
it reflects off and can cause blindness if looked at for too long so be warned!

If a diamond is pushed into the eyeball, it would damage the organ and potentially cause blindness. Reflectively, unless the original source of light bounced through a faceted diamond would blind an eye, the act of passing a light through a diamond would not -- as a stand-alone fact -- cause blindness in all probability.
These rays are ultra violet rays like the sun. They not only can cause blindness in the long term, can cause "flash burn" or burning on the eye which is quite painful and can incapacitate a welder for a few days. They also cause sunburn and they are linked to skin cancer.
I don't know of any diseases but I know it can cause night blindness, Which is basically finding it hard to adjust to the dark from light or vis versa.
Yes they do. It is done to prevent snow blindness. Sunlight reflecting from snow and ice can be very bright and can cause "snow blindness" so climbers often wear dark googles to filter this bright light.

Color blindness is the failure of the red sensitive nerves in the eye that don't respond to light properly.
