Abstract

Comparison of the eye tissue transmission for laser radiations with the wavelengths 0.75, 1.08, 1.34, 1.44, 1.54, 1.66, 2.01, 2.69, and 2.94 μm was made with the aim to understand the possible tissue injury by the particular light. From the step by step transmission measurements of the various human eye tissues (in vitro) it was recognized that the value of the transmitted energy in particular segments is different for various wavelengths yielding substantial fluence differences on the retina and anterior segments, mainly.
