title: [The effects of a new type of laser on fixed tissue of the angle of the anterior chamber in the monkey eye (author's transl)].
abstract: Segments of fixed tissue of the chamber angle of the monkey eye are irradiated with a neodymium (YAG-) q-spoiled laser at a pulse duration of 50 ns, a pulse energy of 200 mJ and an optic distance of 15 mm. Perforating injuries are observed between the anterior chamber and Schlemm's canal. When an acute angle of the laser beam relative to the cornea is chosen, the application point must be at the anterior part of the trabecular meshwork, close to the cornea, to open the canal of Schlemm. An impact further back toward the iris would create cyclodialysis.
