And one to calm things down...
During this years demonstrations I was in a ship hit by a number of green lasers, I stopped counting sources at 5, but officers on the ground said the helicopter was green. I was using NVG's, forcing myself only to look through them. I didn't get orange vision and pain (like I did once getting a direct hit).

I just had my medical on which they did all kinds of tests - as I told them about the events - and I got through ok. No discrepancies from last years results.

Doc gave me a selftest eyepiece, looking through you see a mesh of straight lines. Looking at the center dot and using only your peripheral vision; if the lines are straight and you see all parts of the lines and all line crossings, odds are you are fine.

Just my recent experience.
