Abstract
Usage of pulsed mid-infrared laser energy, which has short absorption length in water, offers the possibility of photoincision and photocoagulation in vitreore- tinal surgery. Cutting effects and coagulative properties of experimentally and clinically used CO2 laser (J. B. Miller et al., 1978, 1980, 1981) and Er:YAG laser (Margolis T. I. et al., 1989) were highly evaluated by authors. Widespread acceptance of these lasers now is limited because of insufficiently convenient fiberoptic delivery systems.
