Contact lenses for Nd:YAG application in the vitreous.
A set of convex-surfaced contact lenses with radii of 12.5 mm, 18 mm, and 25 mm has been developed for Nd:YAG laser work in the vitreous cavity. The lenses reduce the energy threshold for plasma formation and increase the safety of intraocular YAG laser use.
