Femtosecond Laser Cataract Removal: The Second Revolution? And, What is Laser Photolysis?
I read the following writeup on the use of femtosecond lasers for cataract removal and thought it was especially well written. It also piqued my curiosity about some of the “new” applications suggested for femtosecond lasers, including the use of “laser photolysis” to remove lens opacities. That being the case, I got in touch with the author and received permission to reproduce it in this space. In addition, I have written a short treatise on Photolysis of Lens Opacities. That’s a new one to me, so please see the attached addendum for additional information.
