The customer review page has the following in it:
This retroreflector stuff works because imagers (with film, CCDs, CIDs, retinas,...) cause incident light to be scattered from the image plane

Erm, maybe I'm understanding things wrong but, doesn't that only work if the reflector (lens element, retina, whatever) is aimed directly at the laser so it presents a perpendicular surface, reflecting the light directly back at the emitter?
