This could be for everyone:
This would not be a conventional laser. This would have to be a high-powered laser as it would be fired from a great distance, through lots of atmosphere and glass. The USSR used this idea as a way of blinding pilots in wartime and developed powerful lasers for this purpose. It doesn't burn skin, but it's enough to damage your eyes. The crewmember is being treated for an eye injury.

I love cryptic posts. What are you trying to say? I'll have to guess because cryptic posters never respond. Perhaps you're straw-manning me into saying that lasers couldn't blind people? Never said that and it has nothing to do with the current debate. Read my posts.
