| Abstract |
A review of the effects of the CO2-laser on the eye and a report on animal experiments. Even the weakest CO2-laser beam is hazardous for the surface of the cornea and the resultant scars and clouding will always impair vision. Particular reference is made to the importance of thorough ophthalmological and general medical pre-employment medical examinations for people to be employed on work with lasers, and the need for documentary evidence of the eye examination findings (retinal-image photograph or diagram). |
