Trends in Retinal Damage Thresholds from 100-Millisecond Near-Infrared Laser Radiation Exposures: A Study at 1,110, 1,130, 1,150, and 1,319 nm

摘要

Retinal damage thresholds from 100-millisecond exposures to laser radiation for wavelengths between 1,100 and 1,350nm have never previously been established. We sought to determine the retinal damage threshold for 100- millisecond exposures of near-infrared (NIR) laser radiation wavelengths at 1, 110, 1,130, 1,150, and 1,319 nm. These data were then used to create trends for retinal damage thresholds over the 1,100/1,350nm NIR region based upon linear absorption of laser radiation in ocular media and chromatic dispersion of the eye.
