Lasers in cataract surgery
1993
Several laser technologies including 1053-nm picosecond, excimer, erbium:yttrium-aluminum-gamet, and neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) have been studied for use in the removal of cataractous lens tissue. Nd:YAG laser phacolysis involves laser pulses striking a titanium target that are incorporated into an irrigation-aspiration probe. With further refinement, Nd:YAG laser phacolysis may provide an alternative means of lens removal through a small incision, however, further study is required.
