You cannot physically damage a person's eye with a laser pointer. You can however, decrease the activity in the inner eye which relays a signal (blindness) after a period of time while staring into the laser. It is not strong enough to damage, but bright enough to cause dysfunction of your pupil.
Edit-A Class I laser is harmless in normal use, Class IV is extremely hazardous to skin and eyes. It all depends on the laser power.
It can also cause a nuclear detonation.

∙ 13y agoYes, but you would have to keep it in their eye for a few minutes...

∙ 9y agoIf it's a legitimate 300 mW yes. Many lasers sold today are underspeced and have less power. Anything 100 mW and over has power to burn. The higher the mW the faster it will burn.

How strong does a laser pointer need to be to cut paper?
Burning paper requires 1 watt (1000 mW), which is more than what most laser pointers can achieve without modifications For comparison: Popping balloons or lighting matches requires roughly 100 mW (which is the high end mW range of most commonly found laser pointers) Note: laser pointers anywhere near 100 mW and up are very dangerous to the eyes and can cause permanent degrading of vision (some doctors say any laser above 5 mW can cause eye damage), so use with caution and never point at anyone's face

The answer is pretty much "No." You can increase the power slightly, but if you go much beyond what it's designed for you'll burn out the laser diode.
Can carbonless paper be used in laser printer?
Most carbonless paper will not work with laser printers since lasers burn the image onto the paper instead of pressure. They usually only work with paper that is similar to the carbonless paper.
