Measurement of the retinal irradiation exposure during diaphanoscopic illumination

For the visualisation of the intraocular space it is essential to illuminate the inside of the eye. One illumination approach is diaphanoscopy, in which the light of an extraocular source is transmitted through the tissue layers of the eyewall. The transmission properties of these tissues and their...
