The effects of Nd:YAG laser cyclophotocoagulation on corneal sensitivity, intraocular pressure, aqueous tear production and corneal nerve morphology in the canine eye

Corneal ulceration with prolonged healing following Nd:YAG laser cyclophotocoagulation in dogs is a frequent complication. It is hypothesized that these corneal ulcerations may be a form of neurotrophic keratitis due to laser-induced damage to corneal innervation. Fifteen clinically normal dogs had...
