A Study of Low-Level Laser Retinal Damage.

Abstract

The general objective of this program is to determine the retinal reflectivity of the retina. The diffuse retinal reflectivity of 25 animals has been measured from a wide variety of species. An artificial eye, with a Kodak White Reflectance Standard as an artificial retina, is used as a reference. The artificial eye has a focal length of 25 mm. This white surface has known reflectance characteristics, almost 100%, and is claimed to be perfectly diffuse. The energy from the animal retina is divided by the energy from the artificial retina (at the same wavelength) to remove spectral variation in light level, instrument transmission, and detector sensitivity. Originator furnished keywords include: Retinal reflectivity.
