A method of calculating the concentration of a thermally 
denaturated protein in a site formed on eye tissue under the action 
of laser radiation is proposed. It is shown that this method allows 
one to determine the position of the indicated site in relation to 
the radiation wavelength, the radiant exposure, the focusing of radiation, 
and the duration of irradiation. The threshold and limiting radiant 
exposures permissible in the case of irradiation of eyes by IR laser 
radiation for medical purposes have been determined.
