Tangential Corneal Surface Ablation With 193- and 308-nm Excimer and 2936-nm Erbium-YAG Laser Irradiation

Mitochondria-targeted antioxidant SKQ1 protects cornea from oxidative damage induced by ultraviolet irradiation and mechanical injury

“…In early studies, excimer lasers of the UVB range were widely trialed for photorefractive surgery. Yet, these lasers were found to produce harmful side effects on the cornea, and they were outcompeted by lasers of the UVC spectrum (193 nm) [8–10]. However, the molecular mechanisms of corneal damage induced by UVB and UVC are similar [39–41].…”
