Trends in retinal damage thresholds from 100‐millisecond near‐infrared laser radiation exposures: A study at 1,110, 1,130, 1,150, and 1,319 nm
Abstract
Retinal damage thresholds from 100‐millisecond exposures to laser radiation for wavelengths between 1,100 and 1,350 nm have never previously been established. We sought to determine the retinal damage threshold for 100‐millisecond exposures of near‐infrared (NIR) laser radiation wavelengths at 1,110, 1,130, 1,150, and 1,319 nm. These data were then used to create trends for retinal damage thresholds over the 1,100–1,350 nm NIR region based upon linear absorption of laser radiation in ocular media and chromatic dispersion of the eye.
