Abstract
The effects of Ho:YAG- (free-running mode), Nd:YAG- (continuous wave m ode) and diode- (continuous wave mode) laser radiation on the degree o f collateral thermal damage realized during the creation of sclerostom y canals ab interno (by an active contact method) were compared morpho logically: Both the nature and extent of coagulation ocurred by sclera l collagen fibrils were found to be independent of the laser modality employed.
