Copyright by Jinze Qiu 2010 In some embodiments of the retinal IDM invention described herein, laser tissue removal procedures including, but not limited to, laser photodisruption, photoionization or photodissociation and/or laser photoablation devices and methods [including, but not limited to, Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE), Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis . The journey to femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery: new ... Dry Eye after Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) versus ... The greater the number of laser spots and the . In addition to putting patients at greater ease (knowing that no blade will be used on their eye) advantages of bladeless, femtosecond laser LASIK include: More predictable corneal flap thickness. SESSION NAME Surgical Lasers: Understanding Lasers, Tissue Response, and Safety in the OR SPEAKER Leslie J. Pollard, BSMT, LEOT, CMLSO SESSION NUMBER 0049 DATE/TIME Tuesday, April 1, 2014, 2:30-4pm CONTACT HOURS (CH) 1.5 SESSION OVERVIEW: When potentially dangerous Class 3b or Class 4 lasers are used in the OR, the safety of both the patient Endothelial cell damage related to transcorneal photocoagulation can be secondary to direct cellular destruction, either as a result of a direct thermal burn or coagulation necrosis, or due to vaporization at the point of laser focus. Frontiers | Corneal Densitometry After Small Incision Lenticule ... Photodisruption As with the Nd:YAG laser, FSL cuts tissue through a process of photodisruption (in contrast to excimer and argon lasers that use photoablation and photocoagulation, respectively 10 ). Chromophore (pigmented molecules) absorbs photons and converts it into heat by 10-20 degrees 3. The application of many photons of laser energy at the same place and time leads to a nonlinear absorption of . Inside the tissue, the laser light intensity is exponentially attenuated: I = I 0 Exp[-x/A], where A is absorption depth from Figure 3.When laser intensity I 0 is greater than ablation threshold . Because the energy of photoablation is used only to break . Photodisruption | definition of photodisruption by Medical dictionary Phototherapy Photochemical effects include photoablation, photodynamic therapy (necrosis of tumors in cancer), and photoradiation to enhance wound healing.
