Subthreshold Laser Radiation of Rhesus Monkey Retina. Gallium Arsenide Bioeffects.

Abstract

6 Eyes from 3 adult Rhesus monkeys (two male and one female) were irradiated with a neodymium-pumped dye laser at 867 nm (4 eyes) or 900 nm (2 eyes) wavelengths, (single pulses, 10 n sec pulse duration, 10 Hz). Except for one eye, 12 marker burns surrounded the 9 macular lesions in each eye, and one of the experimental lesions in each eye was in the fovea. The lesions were either at threshold or approximately three times threshold.
