I am quite new to the laser and have been going through all sorts of materials engraving and cutting to produce a database of best cuts and best engraves and i have been watching the machine work .About 5 days later i got a very red eye which lasted a week .(finally letting up)
I have been looking at the cut or engrave through the view window and i thought this was good enough protection ,is it?
Or was it just an alergy

I stare at mine all the time and have not had problems. This issue has come up many times. Search for "eye" and maybe "protection" or "safety" to see a bunch of posts.

Well it seems by your post the red eye happened 5 days later so it's almost certainly not caused by the laser as it would have happened far quicker if it was and would have affected both eyes unless you were squinting when looking :)
