Abstract
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. thermal psychophysics; infrared cataract; psychophysiology Submitted on March 11, 1963Keywords
