Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

A method of calculating the concentration of a thermally denaturated protein in a site formed on eye tissue under the action of laser radiation is proposed. It is shown that this method allows one to determine the position of the indicated site in relation to the radiation wavelength, the radiant exposure, the focusing of radiation, and the duration of irradiation. The threshold and limiting radiant exposures permissible in the case of irradiation of eyes by IR laser radiation for medical purposes have been determined.
