ABSTRACT
Very soon ocular surgeons worldwide will be able to use the upmost of laser technology for cataract surgery. In the authors’ hands the first European erbium-yttrium aluminum garnet (Er-YAG) laser prototypes have shown to be effective, and, as they have been developing the first European prototypes, they have found that Er-YAG laser surgical approach to cataracts slightly differs from that of classical ultrasonic phacos.
