The Nd:YAG laser 1.3 u wavelength: in vitro effects on ocular structures.
We evaluated the in vitro effects of the 1.3 u wavelength of a Nd:YAG laser using a fiberoptic delivery system, with or without sapphire tips on ocular tissue. Conjunctival and retinal adhesions were achieved best with a noncontact technique compared with a contact method.
