Laser irradiation of the anterior segment of the eye—Rabbit eyes*

Ruby lasers with power outputs of 230 and 800 mj caused no detectable lesions in the transparent media of the eye but produced marked changes in the iris of pigmented animals. Repeated exposures were required to produce a hole in brown irides but a hole resulted from a single exposure in a blue iris. A 3-mw continuous argon laser caused corneal oedema after 1½ min exposure. The histological appearances of the ruby laser lesions on the iris are described, and the possible clinical applications discussed.
