## Background and objective: The evolution of pressure waves induced by argon-fluoride laser ablation of the cornea in the typical operative conditions of clinical laser keratectomy has been studied experimentally and analyzed. ## Materials and methods: Freshly enucleated porcine eyes were irradi
Excimer laser radiation at 193 nm and 248 nm was used to create linear etch perforations of enucleated calf corneas. The etch depth per pulse was determined for various exposures, and specimens were examined by light and transmission electron microscopy. Compared to 248 nm, excimer laser ablation at
Wide bandwidth piezoelectric transducers made of thin (9 pm) polyvinylidene fluoride filni have been used to make time-resolved measurements of the stresswave generated by far-ultraviolet (193 nm) laser ablation in corneal tissue in v i m . At high fluence ( -250 ml/cm2), ablation commences within
