Abstract
In the past two years there has been a rapid development of both Q-switched and mode-looked Nd:YAG lasers for surgery of the anterior segment of the eye. There is some question as to the levels of laser radiation which reach the retina. Once a plasma is formed, little radiation reaches the retina. The authors used both a Q-switched and mode- locked laser with an ophthalmic slit-lamp delivery system to study the transmission characteristics of laser plasmas produced in aqueous solutions.
