Study of Ocular Effects of Chronic Exposure to Laser Radiation.
Abstract
The project is a study of the effects of long term exposure of the eye to laser radiation. The data is for four hour, wide field exposures at levels below immediate damage threshold for rabbit and monkey eyes. The report compares the thresholds for white light and the 514.5 and 488.0 nm lines of the argon laser. From this information a hypothesis is proposed as to the mechanism of damage and methods are proposed to test this hypothesis. If the mechanism can be established, generalizations can be made for different conditions and different light sources.
