Abstract:
Femtosecond laser represents the frontier technique in the field of refractive surgery,and its novel scanning mode is under investigation.It has transformed from simple refractive correction to multifield therapy for the advantages in accuracy and safety.Such technique has been employed in the treatment of keratoconus,penetrating and lamellar corneal transplantation,the completion of channel for intrastromal corneal ring segments implantation and achievement of collagen cross-linking.Femtosecond laser can achieve better outcomes in keratolimbal allograft and corneal biopsy for ocular surface reconstruction and histopathologic diagnosis.Also,femtosecond laser has been applied in the treatment of presbyopia and cataract.With improvement in related technique,femtosecond laser might be utilized more frequently in clinical practice.This paper focus on its novel application in therapeutic corneal surgeiries.
