Abstract
We have investigated the photo-ablation of human corneal tissue and and found effective, apparently non-conventional-thermal photoablation of human cornea by UV and non-UV-laserlight. Photo-ablation of polymers and human tissue by UV-laserlight has been extensively investigated in the last few years. Its potential application to laser surgery of the cornea has triggered a variety of investigations, comprising both, basic studies of the mechanisms of photoablation of biological-tissue as well as clinical applications for corneal or lens surgery.
