Study of Laser Radiation Effect on the Cornea of the Eye by Speckle Interferometry

Abstract

The existing techniques of laser vision correction – one of the most widespread operations – are based presently on a surgical intervention in cornea tissue. Our science team is engaged in studying of in essence new type of correction based on a modification of structure and the field of mechanical tension of a cornea. In this work, the possibility to use of a speckle interferometry method as a basis for the tracking system of cornea structural changes at thermal influence of a nondestructive laser radiation is considered. Also for a cornea, the polymeric phantom was picked up.
