Research on the Ocular Effects of Laser Radiation.
Abstract
This second annual report summarizes research on ocular effects of radiation in five distinct but inter-related research areas. The first deals with experimental verification of theoretical predictions on effects of ocular blood flow on laser-induced retinal burn thresholds. The second major research effort is concerned with ocular effects of UV laser radiation in the cornea and lens. Continous wave output from a krypton-ion laser (350.7 and 356.4 nm) produces corneal lesions. The third research project involves in situ microprobe measurements of laser-induced retinal temperatures in living primates. The fourth part of this report summarizes histological investigations conducted in support of research on ocular effects of laser radiation. Part five of this report summarizes the final results of experiments under-taken to determine the effect of wavelength on retinal damage thresholds induced by laser radiation in the visible region.
