People talk about shining lasers into the sensors. Not sure if thats a real thing or a myth.
A powerful enough laser can permanently damage digital camera sensors, but really only the pixels the laser directly hits. (Not to mention the legal/safety issues of owning one powerful enough to completely destroy one)
For example, Volvo's lidar system famously burnt out pixels on people's phones
That... can't be good for the eyes.
