Re: Slit Lamp Eye Exams

        Group,

        I am currently employed by the Navy, and quickly perused NAVMED
P-5055.  There does not appear to be a special eye exam requirement for
neutrons.  My eye exams (through the Navy) are certainly more concerned with
LASER light exposure.  There may be some "special" requirements on the
"afloat" vessels that are not covered by the BUMED "bible".

P.S. Slit-lamps are sort of "old technology" now...
