Deciphering the performance of different surface models for corneal topography
Abstract Purpose To study the performance of different corneal surface models to be used for ray tracing. Models based on geometric surfaces and polynomial fits were compared and the differences discussed. Methods For this simulation study, five characteristic generic surface configurations were generated: (A) perfect biconic, (B) decentred biconic ...

Laser Machining by short and ultrashort pulses, state of the art and new opportunities in the age of the photons [PDF]
An overview is given of the applications of short and ultrashort lasers in material processing. Shorter pulses reduce heat-affected damage of the material and opens new ways for nanometer accuracy.

Spatial and Diurnal Variations in Sodium Content Within Intervertebral Disc Tissue
Cycles of daily movement and nighttime relaxation create cycles in fixed charge density and tissue osmolarity in vivo. Previous measurements of these parameters have been limited by spatial resolution and an inability to measure in situ. This study develops and validates a novel application of laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry

Role of Optical Coherence Tomography on Corneal Surface Laser Ablation [PDF]
This paper focuses on reviewing the roles of optical coherence tomography (OCT) on corneal surface laser ablation procedures. OCT is an optical imaging modality that uses low-coherence interferometry to provide noninvasive cross-sectional imaging of ...
