IR radiation used in the temperature checks can damage your eyesight. There are now machines that require you to align your eyes within the range of the (invisible) IR radiation.

The temperature checks are an executive branch allowance due to Coronavirus. Trump can end the ability for employers to do the temperature and allow it to be reclassified as a medical procedure protected by privacy laws.

Then what do they use?

IR thermometers do use IR radiation which is why they're pointed close to the forehead and not in the eyes.
