have you ever heard of Laser Eye-Correction Surgery what do you think the laser does, it heats the molecular structer of your retena so the lens can be repaired without pulling out the butcher knives. Also, you ever heard of not shining a laser into your eyes because it may cause you to go blind? Think about that. Lasers can be used as weapons, not very effective ones if you can just hold up a mirror and deflect it way from you. And if you come back to me again and say they are not lasers, I will ask you "WHY???!???!!!!? are they called LASERS" if they ain't lasers?? I am a little confused here.
