[Experimental and clinical use of the thermal mode neodymium:YAG laser].
The neodymium:YAG laser may be used to advantage in the thermal mode for iridectomy. A variety of other tasks which are traditionally performed using the argon laser can also be efficiently carried out using this mode of operation. In this article the authors describe in particular the method of transscleral cyclophotocoagulation with the neodymium laser in the treatment of glaucoma, which is becoming increasingly popular.
