A STUDY OF THE PRODUCTION OF CHORIORENTINAL LESIONS BY THERMAL RADIATION.

Abstract

Chorioretinal burns have been systematically produced in pigmented rabbits under carefully controlled laboratory conditions. Lesions were produced by high-intensity light flashes ranging in duration from 165 microsec. to 250 msec. and with image diameters which ranged from 1.0 to 0.11 mm. From these measurements, relationships were obtained between exposure duration and threshold irradiance for the production of '5-minute' minimal lesions. (Author)
