A pulsed excimer laser was used to produce radial keratotomy in vivo in human corneas and the wound healing process was studied. Fluences of 370 mJ/cm2 at a repetition rate of 20 Hz were effective and atraumatic. The wound healing process was remarkably uneventful without an inflammatory or immune reaction apparent at 21 days. Consistent flattening of the cornea was obtained by shallower cuts than with conventional radial keratotomy techniques.

D003315 Cornea The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses.
