Methods Twelve patients were examined to investigate genotype by direct sequencing of the TGFBI gene. Twenty eyes of 12 patients were treated with phototherapeutic keratektomy (PTK) to...http://www.springerlink.com/content/r16258xt3082k876/ Astigmatism and coma-free prism dye ring laser- September 4, 2008 Gerd Marowsky The characteristics of two prism ring lasers for cw operation have been experimentally studied. With improved compensation for aberrations due to astigmatism and coma, cw ring lasers operated in the traveling-wave mode provide high output efficiency, stable narrow bandwidth in multimode and single-m ...
