An Experimental Study of the Specific Features of Laser Radiation Propagation through the Optical System of the Human Eye and the Optic Nerve

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

The results of studies of the process of low-intensity laser radiation propagation through human optic pathways are presented. It is shown that the optic nerve can be modeled as a fiber optic cable rather than a coaxial electric cable.
