anything above 5mW can damage the eye and so will be classed as an offensive weapon. Anything above 5mW also becomes a class 3R laser and requires special regulations and safety precautions - which if you don't follow you could be prosecuted by the HSE.
None of these are very well regulated of course but if you do blind someone then you are looking at jail time as well as a private HSE prosecution that the person will no doubt follow.
