Can a laser really blind you? What exactly happens when it shines in your eye?

Yes.

>What exactly happens when it shines in your eye?

Light gets absorbed by the cells in your eye and the energy is turned into heat. Normally, the amount of heat is so small that it isn't a problem, however, a laser can pump so much power into your eye that your body can't deal with the heat and the cells die.
