Abstract

To evaluate the local temperature at corneal tissue after applying single laser pulse from six commercial devices; Medilex™, Katana laser-soft, MEL90, Technolas-Teneo317, Alcon EX500, and PulzarTMZ1. The temperature distribution is simulated using finite element solution of the Penne’s bio-heat transfer equation on a 3-D model of human cornea using the manufacturer’s assigning parameters. The obtained results showed that the heating effect of Katana laser soft is 40% lower than MEL90 and Pulzar™ Z1, while the broad beam Medilex™ showed the minimum temperature rise especially at 248-nm laser radiation. The change in laser parameters selected for ablation has significant effect on the corneal local temperature. The broad beam-based device produces lower local corneal temperature than other flying spot types.
