title: [Lesions of the rabbit cornea produced by laser light (author's transl)].
abstract: Threshold radiant exposure of the cornea of gray rabbits was evaluated for Argon- and YAG-Laser light. Threshold for the Argonlaser is about 15 kJ/cm2 (exposure time 200 ms to 2 s, spot size 65 micron). For experimental and methodical reasons the value for the YAG-Laser (115 kJ/cm2) is of limited accuracy. The healing process of supraliminal lesions of the cornea is observed clinically and histologycally up to six weeks following exposure to laser radiation.
