Abstract

Femtosecond (Fs) lasers have ultra short laser pulses. Because of these short pulses the pulse energy is decreased and there is a reduction in the amount of thermal and mechanical damage to the surrounding tissues. Once designed to replace microkeratome in laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK), the Fs laser is being used and seems to be going to be used in many new areas. These areas are cutting flaps for LASIK, lenticule extraction for myopic correction, cuts for intrastromal ring segments, astigmatic keratotomy, lamellar keratoplasty, presbyopic correction, many steps in cataract surgery. In this review we will discuss recent advances about femtosecond laser.

Özet

Femtosaniye (Fs) lazerler ultra kısa lazer atımları yaparlar. Bu ultra kısa atımlar sayesinde kullanılan lazer enerjisi azalır böylece çevre dokularda oluşan termal ve mekanik hasar minimum düzeye iner. İlk önceleri lazer in-situ keratomileusis (LASİK)‘te mikrokeratomun yerini alması için sunulan bu teknoloji günümüzde birçok farklı kullanım alanları bulmuş ve bulmaya devam etmektedir. Bu alanlar LASİK cerrahisinde flep oluşturulması, miyopik düzeltme için korneadan lentikül hazırlanması, kornea halkaları için yatak hazırlanması, astigmatik keratotomi, lameller keratoplasti, presbiyopi tedavisi, katarakt cerrahisinde birçok aşama olarak sayılabilir. Bu yazıda femtosaniye lazer ile ilgili son gelişmeler gözden geçirilecektir.
