Retinal Thermal Model of Laser-Induced Eye Damage: Computer Operator's Manual.

Abstract

A user-oriented description is given of a computer program for predicting thermal eye damage caused by exposure to laser radiation. This report describes the parameters necessary to run the program and provides a suggested range of values for the parameters. The input and output are described in detail, as are many of the capabilities and limitations of the program. The parameters and required input steps for a plot routine used to plot the temperature rises within the ocular structures are also presented. The architecture of the program and the interpretation of the input and output can be found in the IIT Research Institute technical report, 'Thermal Model of Laser-Induced Eye Damage' (AD-A017-201).
