Near-infrared pulses are used by the FS laser to cut tissue with little collateral tissue damage. The laser has demonstrated its versatility in a variety of procedures, including laser-assisted anterior and posterior lamellar keratoplasty, cutting of donor buttons in endothelial keratoplasty, customised trephination in penetrating keratoplasty, tunnel creation for intracorneal ring segments, astigmatic keratotomy, and corneal biopsy.
However, its primary use right now is in the creation of laser in situ keratomileusis flaps. All Ophthalmic Femtosecond Lasers refractive keratomileusis without a flap, creating corneal pockets for biopolymer keratoprostheses, minimally invasive transscleral glaucoma surgery, retinal imaging and photodisruption, presbyopia surgery, and anterior lens capsulorrhexis are among the current laboratory studies.
