OPTIMIZED LASER PLATFORMS
5Chapter
Chapter 5 - Evaluation of ablation profiles,
post-operative outcomes
and ablation efficiency factors
of different optimized laser platforms
This chapter is based on the article by Dorronsoro et al.
“Experimental evaluation of optimized ablation patterns for laser
refractive surgery”, published in Optics Express Optics Express,
Vol. 17, Issue 17, pp. 15292-15307 (2009). This study was partially
presented at ARVO 2008 (Dorronsoro et al., 2008a).
The contribution of Carlos Dorronsoro to the study, in collaboration
with other coauthors, was the literature search, the design of the
experiments, the ablations in clinical sites, the development of the
measurement procedures, the measurement of
the ablated surfaces, the development of the
data analysis routines and the analysis itself.
Coauthors of the study are Laura Remon, Jesús
Merayo-Lloves, Benjamín Alonso-Fernandez
and Susana Marcos.
