The light used when undertaking ophthalmic diagnosis or ophthalmic surgery can be hazardous and the need to address this from a clinical and practicable point of view is discussed. Not all patients are equally at risk. Age and health are risk factors that need to be taken into account, the aged eye being more at risk as is the eye with existing disease. The risk of photochemical damage to the retina is increased as a result of patients being examined with different ophthalmic instruments during a 24-h period. The ways in which the clinician needs to address these safety issues is discussed bearing in mind the guidelines that are being developed.
进行眼科诊断或眼科手术时所使用的光线可能具有危险性，本文将从临床和实际可行的角度探讨应对这一问题的必要性。并非所有患者面临的风险都是相同的。年龄和健康状况是需要考虑的风险因素，老年患者的眼睛以及患有现有疾病的眼睛面临的风险更高。由于患者在24小时内接受不同眼科仪器的检查，视网膜发生光化学损伤的风险会增加。本文将结合正在制定的指导原则，讨论临床医生应对这些安全问题的方法。
