- Abstract
Aside from the density of lesion pigmentation, another factor affecting the efficacy of the FSL in defining the lamellar plane is lesion thickness. GLO:FQR/01apr21:ceo13907-fig-0002.jpg PHOTO (COLOR): 2 Preoperative and postoperative images of the five patients who underwent femtosecond laser (FSL) resection of pigmented conjunctival lesions. In addition, the Z8's large numerical aperture enables it to cut efficiently through conjunctiva, wherein energy penetrance is decreased compared to corneal tissue due to its translucency.4 Moreover, the Z8 FSL delivers lower energy pulses in the nanojoules range as opposed to microjoules.5 This reduces intraoperative tissue inflammation, which may in turn minimize postoperative scarring.
