Description of the Book:

We propose a rate process model for describing photochemical damage to retinal cells by short wavelength laser exposures. The rate equation for photochemical damage contains a positive rate that is temperature independent,and a negative (quenching) rate that is temperature dependent. Using the traditional Arrhenius integral to describe thermal damage, we derive damage threshold doses for both thermal and photochemical mechanisms, and show that the model accounts for the sharp transition from thermal to photochemical damage thresholds that have recently been observed in an in-vitro retinal model
