Abstract

Currently employed ophthalmic lasers use relatively low-power cw gas laser sources, such as Ar and Kr, to produce thermal effects in ocular tissues. A new generation of ophthalmic lasers is in development, using high-power short-pulsed solid-state lasers to produce electromechanical destruction of tissues (see Fig. 1). These lasers make the ideal of closed system microsurgery a reality.
