Several DX pointers have been dissected by members of LPF and they've ALL had IR filters.
When they made their initial offerings of these pointers no one knew if they had IR filters or not, and the wisdom was for safety's sake to assume they did not have filters until proven otherwise. That quickly evolved into the notion that "DX lasers are unfiltered" and it just took off with a life of it's own, and it just refuses to die. Over on LPF it's kind of funny. Someone signs into a thread, and posts "Well except for my DX laser which has no IR filter…" or whatnot, and the mods are tearing their hair out...
Even with cheap eBay greens that do not have an IR filter, the focus and collimation of the optics is for the green, not the IR, so it's not focused and badly collimated, and the excess IR is also diffused by passing through the MCA without re-lasing into 532nm. So any IR leakage is most likely going to be eye-safe at any distance where the green would still be blinding or damaging anyway.
That's not to minimize the dangers of IR, the need for safety, or imply that consumers ought not be educated about what they're buying, and you could have the one in a million pointer that is putting out a tight high mW IR beam, but overall the whole "cheap green=IR cooked eyes" is way overblown. Any distance from the laser where IR damage could happen, the green will be frying your retina anyway.
Yes, go see your eye doctor. You've only got one set of eyebulbs for life. But I seriously doubt it was your laser unless you were doing something really stupid like looking into your pointer at point-blank range. Or the batteries died, and the IR output fell below the lasing threshold of the MCA to produce green, and you were looking in the aperture wondering what the little dull red dot was...
