The physiological response as demonstrated in ERG was altered even at energy levels 50 per cent below that required to produce visible HthresholdM burns (2). In order to demonstrate that a thermal effect accounts for the observed histochemical changes as well as for the altered ERG response, examination of soluble retinal proteins was performed to evaluate the following three questions. 1) What protein changes occur in the retinal areas directly exposed to high intensity light? 2) How far from the center of the injury can the alterations be detected? 3) How sensitive are the retinal proteins to thermal injury? counted for the difference in extent and type of enzyme activity alterat' 5 lolls.
