Abstract
Femtosecond photodisruption opens new pathways in refractive surgery due to its precise interaction mechanism with biological tissue. The quality of tissue processing allows correction of refractive errors and preparing donor and recipient tissue for keratoplasty with a much higher flexibility of what is known from the use of mechanical knives. In this chapter, the potential of ultrashort laser pulses is shown in the field of refractive surgery, keratoplasty and the treatment of presbyopia.
