MILES Device: Ocular Hazard Evaluation.
Abstract
This report describes an attempt to find ocular effects in the primate eye as a result of exposure to a MILES (Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System) laser transmitter for a M16A1 rifle. The MILES device incorporates a pulsed gallium arsenide laser operating in the near infrared. For the exposure parameters reported, no ocular alterations could be detected with either a fundus camera or a direct opthalmoscope. (Author)
