Abstract:

The eventual aims of these experiments are to use intact corneas incubated in vitro and corneas of rats or rabbits exposed in vivo to high energy pulsed millimeter waves to study the development of corneal damage. Such experiments are expected 1 to establish conditions for corneal damage and 2 to elucidate the mechanisms by which the damage occurs.
