Demonstrates retinal burn thresholds in monkeys using a helium-neon laser, indicating safety limits.

This research aims to determine the power threshold for inducing retinal burns with a helium-neon laser in rhesus monkeys.
Utilized a helium-neon continuous wave laser to assess retinal burn thresholds
Focused on unfocussed raw beam application
Identified the minimum power required to produce thermal lesions
The minimum power to produce a minimal retinal thermal lesion was found to be 7 milliwatts.

Ham et al. (1970) studied this question.
