Human Factors
We were operating into GSP.  We were on a vectored downwind at 3;000 feet in between the FAF and the preceding approach fix when I noticed a green laser activate at the 1-2 o'clock position about 2 miles from the aircraft.  I told the captain and he reported it to ATC.  As he was reporting the position of the laser; it 'found the aircraft' and made direct contact with my field of vision causing a total 'green out' in my left eye for a second or two.  I reached up and turned off the landing lights to help conceal the aircraft's position. When we turned final; I disconnected the autopilot at roughly 1;000 feet AGL.  As we flew closer to the airport I experienced 'streaming' of the runway lights with the centerline lights streaming almost to the edge of the runway.  I considered giving control of the aircraft to the captain; but did not want to make such a change in a critical phase of flight.  On the ground; I experienced sensitivity to light; minor aching of the eye; and 'starbursts' from light.  As of the following morning I can see; but I have eye irritation and minor light sensitivity.  I will get my eye checked out when home just to be on the safe side.
