Laser and Its Hazard Potential
نویسنده
چکیده
Laser-induced eye injuries have been reported more and more often in the past years, yet the laser is not a modern invention. Based on stimulated emission, the wavelength, energy dose and pulse duration of the laser are the determining factors for its possible hazard potential. The eye, which is the most vulnerable body part for laser radiation, can be affected. As medical treatment is discussed controversial, a great demand has been put on developing laser protection gear. The present review summarizes the physical basics, clinical findings and therapeutic options of laser-induced eye injuries.

Control the laser beam hazards for class IIIB and IV laser is concluded: engineering and executive controls. In executive control, when laser beam enters to the free space, the controlled area must be identified to protect people and control the radiation exposure limits. Given the fact that the laser light of the laser is entering the environment, the identification of the area under control i...

Lasers can produce a beam of light of such intensity that permanent damage to human tissue, in particular the retina of the eye, can be caused instantaneously, even at distances of over 10 km. At lower intensities, laser beams can seriously affect visual performance without causing physical damage to the eyes; causing transient damage or causing sensation and loss of focus. Laser illumination o...
