Are some barcode scanners at supermarkets dangerous for the eyes?!


Question: Are some barcode scanners at supermarkets dangerous for the eyes!?
I was at my local supermarket tonight where they have large built-in barcode scanners fixed in an upright position underneath the touch screen that the cashiers work on!. They have a separate unit for the cash register and another screen on top of it for the customer to see the products going through!.

As I was waiting on the opposite end of another cashier where an employee was working, I noticed laser lights coming out of the barcode scanners screen which is fairly large, and it was shining in my eyes and I looked into it several times!.

Answers:
No, there is no danger!.

Barcode scanners are a very low frequency that pose no health risk!.

Notice how close the object being scanned has to be to it also !.!.!.that's because the wavelength of the beam emittited is so short and weak!.

If they posed any danger, there would be shielding of some type around them , or they wouldn't be used at all!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
