This project aims to detail the precise effects that lasers have on eye cells, cell populations and the body as a whole. Laser treatments for sight problems are increasing but the effects of these laser applications on the unique immune systems of the eye and brain are unknown. Previous work of the researchers has shown that a novel nanosecond laser when targeted to the eye can alter cells in the lasered eye and in the unlasered eye and the brain. This knowledge may be crucial for enhancing our understanding of the immune privileged state of the eye. In addition, it seeks to guide the development of future low energy lasers as important successful treatments.

这个项目旨在详细描述激光对眼细胞、细胞群和整个身体的精确影响。视力问题的激光治疗正在增加，但这些激光应用对眼睛和大脑独特的免疫系统的影响尚不清楚。研究人员先前的工作表明，当一种新型纳秒激光瞄准眼睛时，可以改变被激光照射的眼睛、未被激光照射的眼睛和大脑中的细胞。这一知识可能对增强我们对眼睛免疫特权状态的理解至关重要。此外，它还试图指导未来低能量激光作为重要成功治疗方法的发展。
