A SUMMARY OF EYE-PROTECTION DEVICES AGAINST NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS

Abstract

A bibliography of eye protection from flashblindness and retinal burn is compiled from work that has been done in this area. In addition, each principle of eye protection is explained and the most significant examples of each principle are given. Some fixed filters worn during daylight hours will protect the eyes from flashblindness and retinal burn. Protection for the eyes still remains unsolved for scotopic vision.
