2014, American Journal of OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :At shorter pulse durations (1 ps to 100 fs) and much lower energies, this process is applied to intrastromal cutting for refractive surgery.41,42 This approach has also been tested in the dissection of epiretinal membranes using a tightly focused beam.43 Despite the very low energy required for this process, its applicability in the posterior pole is limited owing to the difficulty in axial differentiation between the epiretinal membranes and the retina located very close behind them.
