UNDERSTANDING REFRACTIVE LASERS

UNDERSTANDING REFRACTIVE LASERS

Benjamin F. Boyd, M.D., F.A.C.S.

Therapeutic Principles of Excimer

Lasers

The most significant advance in the past three years has been the emergence of the excimer laser and its rapid rise to dominate refractive corneal surgery. The excimer laser is a source of energy that is very difficult to control and apply to the human eye with the assurance of safety.

Harnessing this laser to safely perform corneal surgery has been a major technical achievement.

The argon fluoride (ArF) 193 nanometer excimer laser is a pulsed laser that has wide potential because it can create accurate and very precise excisions of corneal tissue to an exact depth with minimal disruption of the remaining tissue. Fig. 1-1 presents the comparative mechanisms of the excimer laser vs various other lasers commonly used in ophthalmology.

Figure 1-1 Comparative Mechanisms of the Various Lasers Used in Ophthalmology

(1) The argon and krypton lasers employ a thermal mechanism whereby the laser

(L) heats the chorioretinal photocoagulated tissue and produces scarring (arrow). Retina (R), choroid (H) and pigment epithelium (E). (2) The YAG laser works by photodisruption of tissues, creating small acoustical explosions that produce openings (arrow) such as we make in posterior capsulotomy (P). A plasma screen of ions (+ and -) is created. (3) Excimer ultraviolet laser works by photoablation. Small amounts of tissue (T), essentially the stroma in cases of LASIK, are removed from the cornea (C - arrow) with each pulse. (After Boyd´s

"Atlas of Refractive Surgery").

LASIK AND BEYOND LASIK

Chapter 1

Ophthalmic excimer lasers use ultraviolet radiation at a wavelength of 193 nanometers. It is a wavelength that practically does not heat the tissue but actually breaks interand intramolecular bonds. The molecules in the area of ablation explode away from the surface (Fig. 1-2).

The concept of ablative surgery is that by removing small amounts of tissue from the anterior surface of the cornea (Fig. 1-3) a significant change of refraction can be attained. The effect in myopes is achieved by flattening the anterior dome of the central cornea over a 5 mm disc shaped area.

ADVANCES IN EXCIMER LASER TECHNOLOGY

Scanning Lasers

As pointed out by Peter McDonnell, M.D.,

Professor and Chair, Department of Ophthal-

Figure 1-2: Excimer Laser - Effects on the

Tissue

The high intensity energy of ultraviolet light from an excimer laser during tissue ablation breaks inter and intramolecular bonds, causing the molecules of the area of ablation to explode away from the surface. Please observe that there is minimal disruption of the remaining surrounding tissue.

(After Boyd´s "Atlas of Refractive Surgery").

mology, University of California, Irvine, and Professor of Ophthalmology and Director of Refractive Surgery at the Doheny Eye Institute, University of Southern California at Los Angeles, in most parts of the world broad beam lasers still predominate in the laser market (Fig. 1-3). Recently, however, scanning or flying spot lasers have gained attention. Instead of using an iris diaphragm to control a broad beam, some scanning lasers use a small slit that is scanned across the corneal surface (Fig. 1-4). Flying spot is another type of scanning laser. Instead of a slit that scans the surface , flying spot lasers (Fig. 1-5) have a small circular or elliptical spot perhaps 1 mm to 2 mm in diameter that is moved across the surface of the cornea by computercontrolled galvanometric mirrors.

Advantages of Scanning Lasers

Scanning lasers (Figs. 1-4 and 1-5) have several potential advantages over broad beam

2 SECTION I

Figure 1-3 (above): Concept of Broad Beam Laser Application for Refractive Surgery

The most common type of excimer laser is the broad beam laser (L1). The method of application uses a widening diaphragm or pre-shaped ablatable mask (M) through which the laser beam (L2) passes. To produce more ablation of the cornea in the center (C) than in midperiphery (P), the thinner central portion of the mask allows the laser to ablate the central cornea longer. As the disk is ablated in a peripheral direction (arrows), the cornea is shaped accordingly in a desired gradient fashion.(After

Boyd´s "Atlas of Refractive Surgery").

UNDERSTANDING REFRACTIVE LASERS

Figure 1-4 (below): Concept of the Scanning

Type Laser for Refractive Surgery

Another type of excimer laser uses a scanning laser beam. The laser beam (L1) strikes a moving mask (M-arrow) which has a slit through which the beam passes (L2) in a predetermined fashion. More ablation occurs centrally (C) and less peripherally (P) to achieve the desired corneal reshaping. (After Boyd´s "Atlas of Refractive Surgery").

Help ?

A third type of excimer laser application is known as the "flying spot". A small laser beam (L) moves across the cornea (arrow) in a predetermined, computer driven pattern to ablate more tissue centrally (C) than in the mid-periph- ery (P). This type of laser application is very flexible with regard to the type of ablation pattern that can be applied. (After Boyd´s "Atlas of Refractive Surgery").

lasers (Fig. 1-3). The postoperative corneal surface may be smoother, resulting less often in a healing response which can progress to corneal haze or opacity. A higher quality of vision and improved visual acuity may also result from the smoother and more uniform corneal surface when using scanning lasers.

McDonnell emphasizes that another possible advantage of scanning technology is increased flexibility in the ablation profile or algorithm. The profile can produce aspheric rather than only spherical ablations (Figs. 1-6 and 1-7). Larger diameters of ablation can be made. The possibility of using topographical maps of the cornea to guide the ablation is a distinct advantage, which will allow for more flexibility in treating astigmatism. Some patients do not have perfect symmetry of the cornea, particularly those with surgically induced astigmatism after penetrating keratoplasty or cataract surgery, or those with keratoconus. Broad beam lasers do not take the asymmetry of irregular astigmatism into account; they treat all corneas the same. The scanning technology allows the possibility of a customized ablation that is unique for every cornea (Fig. 1-7).

Figure 1-6: Flexibility of the "Flying Spot" Scanning Laser May Provide Customized Ablation

The "Flying Spot" type excimer laser has an advantage over other broad beam and slit scanning lasers by providing increased flexibility in the ablation profile. The profile can be altered to provide aspheric as well as spherical ablations. The mid-peripheral cornea (red shaded area-P) can be treated with the laser (L) to produce a different curvature than that of the central cornea (D - blue line shaded area). This allows the possibility of a customized ablation unique for every cornea. A lamellar corneal flap (B) is retracted. (After Boyd´s "Atlas of Refractive Surgery").

(Note from the Editor in Chief: this flexibility of ablating different profiles in the same cornea is being utilized by some surgeons to create or "sculpt" the so-called "multifocal cornea" which is a significant step forward when it works but of increased risk to the patient's quality of vision when even a minor error in the sculpting occurs. This procedure is experimental).

It may even be possible to improve upon the naturally occurring corneal surface, with improvement in best corrected visual acuity, bringing patients who are 20/20 with correction preoperatively to 20/15 uncorrected postoperatively. We still need more experience to know more definitively whether scanning lasers can actually fulfill their early promise.
