This means an intense beam of light has hit your retina and it is above the light threshold. It forms a scar on the retina, the shape of the light beam incident on it.
Depending on the intensity of the incident light, the duration the scar stays on the retina varies.
This can happen when viewing arc welding, electric sparks, a solar eclipse, or in your case, a LASER pointer
In severe cases, the retinal burn becomes permanent.
i had a powerful Lase Pointerr shined in my eye, and ive been seeing a dot for 3days now, its gone down a tiny bit, but its still there, you know when you look at a bright light and then look away, you see a GreenishBluuish Shape, thats what it looks like to me, except it hasnt gone for 3 days, please tell me my eyes arent F--ed up
Your picture is Upside down.
So this is the Left eye. Top is bottom, nasal is temporal.

KBillsterC,
What you have is called photoretinitis.
