Abstract

The features of interaction of laser radiation with iris tissue were determined in experimental morphological study. The potential of laser irradiation with different spectral characteristics for pupil ectopia correction is estimated. The results of morphometry showed effectiveness of near-infrared diode laser radiation, that presents as an iris contraction in coagulation region with minimal tissue trauma. This fact allows us to propose a near-infrared diode laser radiation as a treatment option for correction of pupil form and location. Alternatively visible wave-length laser showed to be less effective and more traumatic.
