Ocular Effects of Ultraviolet Laser Radiation

Abstract

The report presents an analysis of ocular hazards from ultraviolet laser radiation. Absorption properties of primate-eye components are reviewed, cellular structure and molecular composition of pertinent ocular layers discussed, and absorption of these layers explained in terms of their molecular properties. Potential sites of ocular damage from various UV-wavelength ranges are identified.
