title: The gamma knife in ophthalmology. Part Two--Other ocular diseases.
abstract: Gamma Knife was designed by Lars Leksell in the early 1950's. It gave rise to a new discipline of medicine--stereotactic radiosurgery. Main use of Gamma Knife in ophthalmology--discussed in the first part of this paper--is non-invasive treatment of uveal melanoma. Another uses of LGK in ophthalmology cover choroidal hemangioma, orbital tumors and even choroidal neovascularization.
