Class 3B lasers may have an output power of up to 500 mW (half a watt). Class 3B lasers may have sufficient power to cause an eye injury, both from the direct beam and from reflections. The higher the output power of the device the greater the risk of injury. Class 3B lasers are therefore considered hazardous to the eye. However, the extent and severity of any eye injury arising from an exposure to the laser beam of a Class 3B laser will depend upon several factors including the radiant power entering the eye and the duration of the exposure. Examples of Class 3B products include lasers used for physiotherapy treatments and many research lasers.



So in other words No looking at the beam on the wall will not hurt you eyes. But if you somehow hit your self or someone else in the eye you will.

Have fun, but did you know that LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification Through Systematic Emissions of Radiation?

3b lasers are hazardous and you should handle them with care. Look around on the web for safety procedures to use with 3b lasers.
