AI Article Synopsis
- A case study was conducted on a patient experiencing rainbow glare after undergoing femto-LASIK surgery using the Wavelight FS-200 laser.
- The patient received treatment for myopia in both eyes but reported issues specifically in the right eye post-surgery.
- Confocal microscopy revealed the cause of the glare as hyperreflective patterns at the flap interface, marking the first documented occurrence of this phenomenon with this particular laser.
Article Abstract
Purpose: To report a case of rainbow glare following femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK (femto-LASIK) with the Wavelight FS-200 femtosecond laser (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX).
Methods: A patient was treated bilaterally for myopia with femto-LASIK using the FS-200 femtosecond laser. Postoperatively, he complained of rainbow glare in his right eye.
Results: Three months postoperatively, the induced grating pattern (hyperreflective spot-like zones corresponding to the surgeon-programmed spot and line separation distance of the FS-200 femtosecond laser) was demonstrated with confocal microscopy at the level of the flap interface in the right eye.
Conclusions: This is the first report of rainbow glare following femto-LASIK with the FS-200 femtosecond laser documented with in vivo confocal microscopy.

Suitability of Slaughterhouse-Acquired Pig Eyes as Model Systems for Refractive Ultraviolet and Infrared Femtosecond Laser Research.
Curr Eye Res

Institute of Functional and Clinical Anatomy, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Erlangen, Germany.
Purpose: To elucidate whether it is feasible to use porcine eyes from scalded, abattoir-acquired animals for refractive femtosecond laser research.
Methods: An infrared laser (FS 200) and an ultraviolet laser (prototype version) were tested for their applicability on scalded pig eyes. Fifty porcine eyes were divided into two equally-sized groups and assigned to either the infrared or the ultraviolet laser.
Femtosecond Dynamics of Excited States of Chlorophyll Tetramer in Water-Soluble Chlorophyll-Binding Protein BoWSCP.

The paper reports on the absorption dynamics of chlorophyll a in a symmetric tetrameric complex of the water-soluble chlorophyll-binding protein BoWSCP. It was measured by a broadband femtosecond laser pump-probe spectroscopy within the range from 400 to 750 nm and with a time resolution of 20 fs-200 ps. When BoWSCP was excited in the region of the Soret band at a wavelength of 430 nm, nonradiative intramolecular conversion S→S was observed with a characteristic time of 83 ± 9 fs.

Purpose: To develop a nomogram in cases with mismatch between subjective and Topolyzer cylinder, and based on the magnitude of the mismatch, customize a treatment plan to attain good visual outcomes post-laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery.
Methods: The patients were evaluated preoperatively using corneal tomography with Pentacam. Five optimal corneal topography scans were obtained from the Topolyzer Vario were used for planning the LASIK treatment.
Ultrafast fs coherent excitonic dynamics in CdSe quantum dots assemblies addressed and probed by 2D electronic spectroscopy.

We show in a joint experimental and theoretical study that ultrafast femto-second (fs) electronic coherences can be characterized in semi-conducting colloidal quantum dot (QD) assemblies at room temperature. The dynamics of the electronic response of ensembles of CdSe QDs in the solution and of QD dimers in the solid state is probed by a sequence of 3 fs laser pulses as in two-dimensional (2D) electronic spectroscopy. The quantum dynamics is computed using an excitonic model Hamiltonian based on the effective mass approximation.

This is a prospective nonrandomized interventional clinical trial conducted to measure and verify the intended versus the achieved LASIK flap side-cut angle in two groups of patients, Femtosecond laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) using Wavelight FS200 (Alcon Laboratories Inc. Fort Worth, TX, USA) and the conventional mechanical microkeratme (Moria M 90). This prospective clinical trial was conducted on 40 eyes of 20 patients (20 eyes in each group) in the interval between December 2017 and August 2018.
