2. Nd:YAG laser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nd:YAG_laser

   Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet; Nd:Y 3 Al 5 O 12) is a crystal that is used as a lasing medium for solid-state lasers. The dopant , neodymium in the +3 oxidation state, Nd(III), typically replaces a small fraction (1%) of the yttrium ions in the host crystal structure of the yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG), since the two ions are ...

3. Photodisruption - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photodisruption

   Photodisruption is a form of minimally invasive surgery used in ophthalmology, utilizing infrared Nd:YAG lasers to form plasma ("lightning bolt"), which then causes acoustic shock waves ("thunderclap") which then in turn affects tissue.

4. Danièle Aron-Rosa - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danièle_Aron-Rosa

   Danièle Aron-Rosa (born 1934) is a French-Tunisian ophthalmologist and physician-scientist most known for developing the picosecond, ophthalmic Nd:YAG laser for eye surgeries. She has been called one of the two most respected laser pioneers in ophthalmology, alongside Franz Fankhauser.

5. Iridectomy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridectomy

   In acute angle-closure glaucoma cases, surgical iridectomy has been superseded by Nd:YAG laser iridotomy, because the laser procedure is much safer. Opening the globe for a surgical iridectomy in a patient with high intraocular pressure greatly increases the risk of suprachoroidal hemorrhage , with potential for associated expulsive hemorrhage .

6. List of instruments used in ophthalmology - Wikipedia

   to correct refractive errors of the eye; not invasive Contact lenses: to correct refractive errors of the eye; a little invasive Phoropter: used in refraction testing Tonometers: used to determine the intraoccular pressure (IOP) - useful in glaucoma; video link for various types of tonometers. Speculum: to keep the eyes open during any operation

7. List of laser types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laser_types

   Projection, life sciences, forensic analysis, spectroscopy, eye surgery, laser light shows. The lasing medium is a semiconductor chip. Frequency doubling or tripling is typically done to produce visible or ultraviolet radiation. Power levels of several watts are possible. Beam quality can be extremely high- often rivaling that of an ion laser.
