Chorioretinal Burns
Abstract
The Redwing study was designed to furnish sup plemental information on the requirements for protection against retinal burns utilizing both rabbits and monkeys as experimental animals. Chorioretinal burns were produced by various seg ments of the thermal pulse. This was accomplished by two series of time-fractionating shutters. The first group, the early-closing shutters, were open at time zero and closed at increasing inter vals of time. The second series, the delayed opening shutters, were closed at time zero and subsequently opened for preselected time incre ments during the flash. The feasibility of pro tection by fixed-density optical filters was explored. Two types of developmental protective electronic shutters were field tested.
