目的：介绍飞秒激光在眼科的最新应用。设计：视角、文献综述、病例报道和评论。方法：文献综述。结果：飞秒激光用于准分子激光原位角膜磨镶术(LASIK)的诸多优点已得到证实。FS的替代应用已经获得批准，现在正在临床实践中使用。在屈光眼科，FS激光可用于晶状体摘除以矫正近视，基质内生化操作可用于矫正老花。该激光器可用于制备全厚和板层角膜移植的宿主组织和供体组织。研究正在进行中，探索在白内障手术的不同阶段使用FS激光的方法。结论：技术的进步使FS激光在眼科手术的安全性、效率、速度和通用性方面有了显著的提高。
Purpose: To provide an update of novel applications for the femtosecond (FS) laser in ophthalmology.Design: Perspective, literature review, case report, and commentary.Methods: Literature review.Results: The many advantages of etching flaps with the FS laser for laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) have been well established. Alternative applications of the FS have been approved and are now used in clinical practice. In refractive ophthalmology, the FS laser can be used for lenticule extraction to correct myopia and intrastromal biochemical manipulation to correct presbyopia. This laser can be used for preparing host and donor tissue for both full thickness and lamellar keratoplasty. Research is underway, exploring ways to employ the FS laser for different stages of cataract surgery. Cosmetic procedures with FS-assisted tattooing serve to correct leukoria.Conclusions: Advancements in technology have allowed measurable improvements in the surgical safety, efficiency, speed, and versatility of FS lasers in ophthalmology.
