Doctors Discuss A Bombs Effect On Human Eyes
Four examing doctors told at the American Medical Association convention that atomic explosions can severely injure eyes at long range. Rabbits exposed over 40 miles away showed retina damage from focused light, with energy turning retinal fluid to steam and causing local explosions. The eye lens concentrates the fireball image on the retina, producing tissue destruction and vessel clogging, a finding relevant to human eye safety. Fort Humboldt at Eureka, built in 1853, is cited as a military post.
