Pierre Gougelman had the first glass eye factory in the United States in 1851. At first, the public thought artificial eyes actually gave their wearers new sight. If only glass eyes worked that way!

When using a Class 3B or Class 4 laser, potential hazards from the direct beam exist to the eye and skin. The severity of these hazards is dependent upon the wavelength and the power output of the ...

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are required for all Class 3B and Class 4 lasers and laser systems (including imbedded lasers if hazards are accessible), and must be approved by the Laser Safety ...

Anyone who uses lasers in their line of work will know how important it is not only to wear laser safety glasses but to ensure that those worn offer the appropriate level of protection. However, with ...

A laser through the cockpit can't damage a pilot's eye, a new editorial says. — -- In spite of new high-wattage lasers, pilots are not at risk for permanent eye damage even if they are ...

Eye injuries are of primary concern. The effect to the eye depends on various factors, including pupil size, pigmentation, laser pulse duration and repetition, and wavelength. Pierre Gougelman had the ...

Lasers (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation), which produce an intense and highly directional beam of light, are used in many teaching and research applications on RIT's campus.

Laser Safety provides guidance for individuals who work with high-power Class 3B and Class 4 lasers and laser systems that operate at wavelengths between 180 nm and 1 mm. You are not required to train ...

The Laser Safety program provides individuals using lasers information on laser hazards, laser-related policies and procedures and recommendations for the safe use of lasers. Much of the information ...

Class 3B and 4 lasers can cause injuries to the eyes and skin, as well as fires, electrical and other hazards. To mitigate these hazards, the University of Wyoming Laser Safety Plan follows ...
