Cornea microsurgery by UV radiation from an excimer laser

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Electric discharge excimer lasers are among the promising instruments used in medicine.1,2 Of most interest is their application in microsurgery, in particular, in ophthalmology3 as, due to strong absorption of short-pulse (about 10−8-s), ultraviolet radiation in low heat conduction conditions, the energy of these lasers is concentrated in a very thin tissue layer (~1 μm), resulting in evaporation of this layer with appreciable thermal damage of the walls of the cut tissue at 1-μm accuracy.
