I was fooling around with my laser and decided that it would be a good idea to shine it into the reflector of a flashlight! And the laser bounced twice and diverged greatly and headed straight into my eye, while I wasn't wearing my eagle pair. I saw a really bright flash and..... nothing. there were no spots in my vision whatsoever, it seemed less minor than a camera flash. All I saw in the mirror was a red line on my eye, but that was from sleep deprivation, as evidenced by the fact that I thought it would be fun to reflect a laser straight back at me. Why is this? I was wearing prescription transition lenses which apparently reflect back some of the light when I tried to recreate a direct hit, why am I not blind? (I know that the laser is 1W, because it can light a pencil on fire if properly focused)
