Probably don't even need that much, my cheap eBay laser pointer from 20 years ago damaged one of my first smart phone cameras in a couple seconds because I aimed it directly in. It was red, too, not green. Both work though.

I didn't want to some in my rites so I thought the camera lens would be OK. It was indeed not OK.
