Experimental ocular pathology related to corneal transmittance and infrared psychophysics

William W. Dawson 1

1 Psychology Division, U. S. Army Medical Research Laboratory, Fort Knox, Kentucky

The corneas of 26 cats were irradiated by a 3,250 K source at dose rates of 7.04 gcal/sec cm2. The incidence of cataract, corneal leukoma, and other anomalies was related to total dose levels which ranged from 25–400 gcal/cm2. Generation of lenticular opacities and associated long latent periods was related to current theory, corneal transmission, and intraocular absorption. Corneal spectral transmittance curves which cover the 200–3,200-mµ band were presented. An integration of the corneal transmission in the 700–2,700-mµ band indicates a mean transmission of 43%. Implications for studies of corneal sensibility using infrared stimuli are discussed.
