title: Nd-YAG laser in our experience.
abstract: The authors report on their experience with Microruptor 2, Fankhauser's YAG laser. Over a period of about 18 months, approximately 500 patients with different pathological conditions of the eye were treated. The treatments were noninvasive and given to outpatients under surface anesthesia. The instrument is suitable for use in cases requiring splitting of cataract residues, in capsulotomies (also in the presence of intraocular lenses), in the treatment of iridocorneal adhesions, in the prophylaxis of acute attacks of glaucoma, in ectopia pupillae, and in selected cases of vitreous membranes and strands.
