| Abstract |
Experiments were conducted on owls and rhesus monkeys to study the biological effects of argon (and also ruby) laser beams on the retinal areas that do not contain large blood vessels. The pigment epithelium was the most sensitive area of the retina exposed to threshold laser energies, followed by the photoreceptor and outer nuclear layers; the inner layers of the retina seemed relatively unaffected by the argon laser at threshold energies. |
