You'd need a laser powerful enough and those are hard to get. Those are super dangerous I'd recommend people stay away from them if they don't know about how they work.

Absolutely. 500mW+ lasers can injure human eyes in a fraction of a second, even from a reflection, similar to how they can destroy a camera sensor.

They're not particularly hard to get online in the USA though.
