Finding

Sufficient data was obtained for both CW and pulsed exposures to define threshold curves indicating the boundary between regions yielding observable lens changes and those having no effect when observed in the post radiation period of 30 days. These curves show that, at the 1 watt level, injuries occurred for an exposure time of 40 minutes. Exposures at the 5 watt level resulted in no effect in more than 2 hours. There was no substantial difference between the effects of CW and pulsed power of the same average value.
