Injury Threshold of Cornea to CO2 Laser Light Exposure,

Abstract

The minimum visible lesion in the corneal epithelium resulting from exposure to sq cm laser light is carefully determined. The dose causing 50% probability of damage (ED50) varied with time of exposure. For 1.03 seconds it was 7.52 W/sq cm (95% CL 5.8-5.85 W/sq cm) and for 0.12 seconds it was 10.7 W/sq cm (95% CL 10.4-10.9W/sq cm)
