Ultra-short pulse (femtosecond) laser surgery: initial use in LASIK flap creation
Ophthalmol Clin North Am.
2001 Jun.
Abstract
The highly localized tissue effects of low energy femtosecond duration (ultrashort) laser pulses may be used to create three-dimensional intrastromal resections with micron precision and minimized collateral tissue damage. A surgical laser system that produces and delivers such pulses has been developed and tested clinically for creation of a corneal flap in LASIK. Expanded evaluation of this technology in this and additional keratorefractive applications is currently underway.
