Abstract

In enucleated pig eyes endothelial cell damage was demonstrated after YAG laser coagulation. The extent of the damage can be correlated to the distance between the laser focus and the endothelium, and to the energy. Similar effects and correlations can be demonstrated on intraocular implant lenses in an experimental model.
