Corneal transmissibility of diode versus argon lasers and their photothermal effects on the cornea and iris

ABSTRACT Purpose: Diode laser (810 nm) may possess theoretical advantages over the argon blue‐green laser (488 nm) for iridotomy/iridoplasty in an eye with oedematous cornea, such as the acute angle‐closure glaucoma (AACG) patient, because of better diode laser tissue penetration in opaque media. We...
