Retinal Subthreshold Laser Exposures: Cumulative Effect.

Abstract

The possibility of cumulative effect from visible laser radiation was investigated by two methods: Testing for a change in the apparent ED50 after a series of previous subthreshold exposures; histologically examining retinal tissue subjected to various series of subthreshold exposure. Neither method indicated a cumulative effect with a 30-sec interval between doses. (Author)
