2.5 Risk from incoherent optical radiation
Because prolonged intense light exposure can damage the retina,
the use of LSL green or LIO VISULAS green for ocular examination
should not be unnecessarily prolonged, and the brightness settings
should not exceed what is needed to provide clear visualization of
the target structures.
The halogen or LED light emitted from these devices is potentially
hazardous. The longer the duration of exposure, the greater the
risk of ocular damage. Exposure to light from these devices when
operated at maximum output will exceed the safety guideline after
8 min (filter position: white).
If you have any questions concerning permissible longer exposure
times with other filter positions, please contact ZEISS service.
When operating the devices, avoid looking directly into the light
emitting prism.
Take particular care, when examining infants and aphakic patients.
Never look into the sun through the binocular tube and eyepieces.
