Purpose: To describe a method for calculating wavefront-optimized ablation profiles to
precompensate for the spherical aberration and higher-order astigmatism induced by …

Purpose: To demonstrate the feasibility and technical features of the WaveLight FS200
femtosecond laser (WaveLight GmbH) in refractive and corneal laser surgery. Methods: The …

Background The aim of this study was to perform the first femtosecond laser cuts with a new
prototype femtosecond laser, in vivo and to evaluate its safety, stability and efficacy. Methods …

We report on laser safety aspects for near infrared femtosecond laser refractive surgery. In
particular, the transmittance of microjoule laser pulses at 1040nm through the cornea during …

Purpose: To study parameters for ocular femtosecond laser surgery in terms of process
efficiency and safety aspects using ultraviolet (UV) femtosecond laser pulses. Methods …

Purpose To evaluate gas production and interface quality after refractive lenticule creation. A
new ultraviolet (UV) 347 nm femtosecond laser was compared with the FS200 and the …

Steep central island (SCI) formation after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser in situ
keratomileusis (LASIK) represents a major drawback in the visual rehabilitation of patients …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety, stability, and efficacy of the first clinical cases of epithelial
laser in situ keratomileusis (epi-LASIK) performed using a 1000 Hz excimer laser system …

Purpose We report our findings from a preclinical safety study designed to assess potential
side effects of corneal ultraviolet femtosecond laser treatment on lens and retina. Methods …

Purpose To characterize corneal wound healing in a rabbit model after flapless refractive
lenticule extraction with a 345 nm ultraviolet femtosecond laser. Setting Departments of …
