Narrative:
I was flying the approach to 25L at lax. Near the fix krain; at 10;000 feet; I was looking out the right window and noticed a bright green light. My first instinct was to look towards it but then I remembered the laser protocol and I immediately looked back inside the cockpit. I wasn't sure if it was a laser but a few seconds later my right eye felt momentarily warm. At that point I informed the captain that I thought I might have been struck by a laser and he alerted ATC. I flew the rest of the approach uneventfully.
