Abstract

Laser-induced optical breakdown has achieved widespread clinical use in ophthalmic laser surgery for the incision of transparent structures within the eye.1-2 The objective of our study was to characterize both the physical processes associated with laser-induced breakdown as well as the tissue effects in a model biological system in vitro. The results of our studies demonstrate that collateral tissue damage may be significantly reduced using picosecond pulse durations.
