This report summarizes the research on the interaction of infrared radiation, especially from CO/sub 2/ lasers, with the cornea. The report discusses laser systems, endothelial temperature histories, endothelial damage thresholds, stromal damage, wound repair, epithelial damage from single- and multiple-pulse exposures, and a new thermal damage model based on a phased transition.
