Risk of Adverse Health Outcomes and Performance Decrements resulting from Non-Ionizing Radiation (NIR) during Spaceflight (Non-Ionizing Radiation Risk) - NASA

Sunlight exposure primarily affects the eye and skin and is mitigated by current standards and countermeasures.  An increase in the prevalence of high-power ground-based lasers capable of reaching the ISS, and possibly even the Moon, could cause acute laser exposure damaging hemorrhagic retinal lesions resulting in temporary or permanent damage to vision.
