[The morphological changes in the eye tissues of rabbits in transconjunctival-scleral cyclocoagulation by the radiation of a krypton laser operating continuously].

The paper describes a morphologic picture of changes in eye tissues of rabbits in transconjunctival scleral action on the ciliary body by means of krypton laser (wavelength--647.1 nm) working in a continuous regime. The applications were located 1.0-1.5 mm from the limbus with energy--0.8--3.0 Wt, exposition time--2.0 sec., spot diameter--1000 mcm. The degree of necrosis of ciliary epithelium and atrophy of ciliary processes are directly dependent on the dose of action. Thus, the greatest part of laser radiation with 647.1 nm wavelength is absorbed at the level of the ciliary body. In perspective, this can lead to development of new methods for treatment of some eye diseases, such as glaucoma, tumors of the uveal tract, etc.
