Erbium:YAG laser photoablation of human cornea.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To determine whether the healing response of the human cornea after photoablation with a midinfrared solid-state laser was more pronounced than after excimer laser keratectomies because of the increased thermal damage in adjacent tissue. METHODS:We treated five blind human eyes with an erbium:YAG (Er:YAG) laser prototype and followed up the patients for nine months. RESULTS:Regarding epithelial healing and corneal clarity, the patients had a healing response very similar to that of excimer laser. Further clinical and experimental studies are necessary to estimate healing and regression.
