Using an excimer laser working in the far ultraviolet and cutting fresh corneas of human cadaver eyes, we were able to demonstrate that there is an ideal fluence (joule/cm2/pulse) that allows a maximum tissue ablation depth per shot. Above the threshold of 1 J/cm2/pulse the depth of tissue ablated does not increase and both thermal and mechanical damage appears at the cut edges.
