Of course, but lemme finish this for ya: "
... if they were being REPORTED TO THE DOCS..." Again, damage can occur / you don't even realize, because of the way the eyes 'over-compensate' for anomalies... Dead-hit in the center? Sure, prolly gonna get someone going to the Doc to 'check it out'... But, off-side damage?? Prolly rare, if-ever, that 'pointer-junkies and raver-kids' will actually go
see an opthamologist to get a retinal-scan, just 'to check'... So, you might say
'well, if they're not blind / bleeding out the eyes, what's the big-deal??' Mmmyeah, I'll take my retinas pit / scar-free, thanks very much.. it's hellacious, enough, having to look forward to getting glasses, etc, just from 'getting old'...
