A new laser for collagen wounding in corneal and strabismus surgery: a preliminary report.

Abstract

It has been shown that using a small spot size 2 to 5 mu, a dye modified excimer laser emitting at 595 nm can produce laser ablation of tissue in corneal stroma without compromising anterior and posterior limiting membranes. The surface of extraocular muscle tendon sheath has been similarly laser modified. An instrument, under prototype construction, designed for clinical application of this laser energy is described as well as clinical implications of such surgical interventions in corneal and extraocular muscle surgery.
