✦ Synopsis


Abstract

Intraocular carbon dioxide laser has been used for photocautery and photo‐incision as an adjunct to vitrectomy. This utilizes a new fluid‐tissue interface application for the 10.6 micrometer wavelength infrared radiation. The use of an intraocular probe with an infrared transmitting window through a pars plana incision allows the placement of infrared energy in a fluid medium. The results of animal experimentation and of preliminary clinical trials in human patients are reported. The carbon dioxide laser appears to be a safe and reliable means of intraocular photocautery and photoincision.
