Phototoxicity
WARNING
Because prolonged intense light exposure can
damage the retina, the use of the device for
ocular examination should not be unnecessarily
prolonged, and the brightness setting should
not exceed what is needed to provide clear
visualization of the target structures.
The retinal exposure dose for a photochemical
hazard is a product of the radiance and the
exposure time. If the value of radiance were
reduced in half, twice the time would be
needed to reach the maximum exposure limit.
