A safety framework for laser eye dazzle has been constructed to address the urgent need for dazzle advice within international laser safety standards. Simple calculations are presented to permit dazzle effects to be quantified, based upon the new concepts of Dazzle Level (DL), Maximum Dazzle Exposure (MDE) and Nominal Ocular Dazzle Distance (NODD).
