Zusammenfassung:Results are presented of experimental studies to determine the threshold level for minimal retinal lesions produced in the human eye by argon laser radiation. A description is given of the equipment used and the method of data recording. Data from patients suffereing from diabetic retinopathy was compared with data from non-diabetic patients. The lesion formation threshold level on one volunteer with a perfectly normal eye was noted. One year following the exposures pigment formation was observed.. (Author)
