Abstract

Background: This case portrays different laser utilities in ophtalmic field, the selection of lasers is based on tissue absorption properties and the desired tissue damage outcomes. Different laser types, such as the excimer laser, are utilized for various corneal surgeries, including refractive procedures and phototherapeutic keratectomy for treating corneal disorders. In iridotomy procedures, argon, Nd: YAG, or diode lasers are used to address primary angle closure glaucoma and other related conditions. Iridoplasty, employing the argon laser, aims to open closed angles by inducing iris stroma contraction. Additionally, gentle light impacts and precise laser settings can help separate posterior synechiae without causing lens burns, although pigment clusters may persist on the lens surface. Case Presentation: This is a descriptive study of one caucasian patient whom medical’s conditions were all treated by different laser technologies. Conclusion: This study can help understanding the applications and capabilities of different lasers is essential for successful ophthalmic procedures.
