title: Photodisruption of intraocular gas bubbles.
abstract: During gas-fluid exchange bubbles can form in the vitreous cavity. These bubbles can interfere with visualization of the fundus for retinal examination, photocoagulation, or cryopexy. We used the Nd:YAG laser to eliminate these bubbles in vitro and in two patients.
