There have been several incidents throughout the United States in the past year of laser lights directed at commercial flights. The lights can distract or temporarily blind a pilot.

Yes, permanent eye damage can result from being lased. That fellow had to give up flying and was being jerked around by the VA (who were probably working under orders of State & the Pentagon who didn't want to start an international incident).
