Abstract

We evaluated the ocular effect of a new neodymium, yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd-YAG) laser (P/V YAG) that emits a 1300 nm wavelength. Corneas were undamaged when they were not placed in the focal point of the beam. The iris and secondary membranes were successfully ruptured. The laser beam did not destroy polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) implants when they were not placed in the focal point of the beam. In our experimental setting, we could not produce a retinal lesion using this wavelength.
