Yes, lasers do cause damage.Don't directly expose your camera lens to laser beams. They may damage the image sensor and cause the camera to malfunction.
If you're in an environment with a laser display, whether indoor or outdoor, with direct or indirect exposure (bouncing laser beams of a reflective object), the damage to the camera CMOS sensor is still severe.
