Bio-Optical Evaluation of Specialized Eyewear: Laser Safety and Dark Adaptation Devices
Abstract
This report provides quantitative data and color vision evaluations for several types of goggles. The first two types are laser safety devices and the other three are for dark adaptation purposes. It is found that He-Ne laser safety eyewear conforms to the Army Regulation specification. It is recommended that one type of the safety device be used for only one specific purpose. Furthermore, the laser safety device cannot be used when a detection of a red display or a red light source is required. Results from the dark adaptation devices show that the spectral transmission characteristics possess virtually a common distribution.
