For "casual" use lasers (classroom, grocery store scanners) it looks
like the limit is 1 milliwatt (this from reading the warnings on ads
for various devices). The warning on lasers of less than a milliwatt
is "Don't stare stupidly into this bright light". Anything above that
carries a warning of that indicates that it should not be pointed into
people's eyes at all.

This is for helium-neon reddish lasers. I don't know if laser damage to
the human eye is strongly correlated to frequency.
