BACKGROUND: The cutting action of a femtosecond laser (FS-laser) on the corneal tissue is performed using a photodestructive effect. FS-laser technology is used in many different areas of corneal surgery, and studying this effect is an actual issue.
AIM: To evaluate the surface of the corneal incision created by a FS-laser (experimental study).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 20 porcine eyes were divided into two groups (FS-laser and keratome). The corneal tissue surface in the area of contact between two lips of the incision was visualized by electron microscopy.
RESULTS: In all cases, we received a full-thickness incisions through the cornea. Images obtained by electron microscopy showed regular surface, no signs of thermal or mechanical damage to the corneal structure.
CONCLUSIONS: The FS-laser is used as a microscopic scalpel in surgery. The precision cutting process is performed by mechanical forces generated by photodestruction by expanding cavitation bubbles.
