Human Factors
Descending into ZZZ we were 30 miles out at FL170-180 and first noticed a laser pointed from the town at our direction; we notified Center about the laser. We continued towards the airport for a visual landing. Conditions were VMC about 1.5 nm from the runway we were hit with the laser in the cockpit; Co-Pilot was temporarily blinded; then I was blinded shortly after; we went missed and tried to coordinate with Center where the light was coming from to pass on to law enforcement. We circled around and landed safely at ZZZ. Co-pilot was temporary blinded; no other issues. I had discomfort in my right eye; but no other issues.
