Functional assessment of laser irradiation. Annual progress report, 1 March 1982-28 February 1983

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6641201
Maximum visual acuity and normal color vision are closely related to the integrity of an intact fovea. Exposure of the fovea to intense coherent light from a laser often produces severe and permanent structural changes in receptor function. Associated with this pathological damage are changes in the ability of the eye to resolve spatial detail under various contrast and wavelength conditions. This report examined the immediate and long-term changes in acuity associated with exposure to minimal-diameter spots of argon irradiation.
