well, the problem is this:  These are all in a church setting and being that it is, the way that everyone lines up and the pace that everyone walks up and down from the alter to their seat, I haven't done this to someone, but i know for a fact that it's a heck of a lot easier to focus and aim at...

Didn't include this in the last bit that I discussed this.  My prescription has changed.  Although I wasn't able to do a full eye exam, my optometrist did a partial check that day and told me that it has changed, although he favors that it's because I hadn't had a check since a year ago and that...

Thanks Bionic Badger.  I PM'd you asking another question since you've been helpful with feedback.

I'm new here. I was surprised to find a forum dedicated to these things. I'm going to post around now since I need to be educated about laser pointer safety and this place seems to be a place where I can get some real information without having to make frequent trips to the optometrist or...
