Abstract
The facets of the protection scheme for high-energy lasers of 50 joules or more exit energy include the design of the laboratory and the instruments to minimize the hazards of laser radiation therapy in terms of reflectance from the target area. The most important phase of protection continues to be eye protection by means of heavy welder's goggles with effective filters. Chronic skin exposure should be avoided through the use of drapes and protective black felt coverings. It is emphasized that as yet for laser radiation little is known of the late changes at the cellular level.
