Abstract

See full text

Balanced pH, thermo-irreversible polyoxyalkylene polymer and ionic polysaccharide gels are ideal materials for use as an ablatable mask or coating over the cornea of the eye of a mammal during excimer laser keratectomy. The depth and smoothness of the ablated corneal surface can be controlled by molding the desired surface curvature into the mask surface using a contact lens as a mold which is pressed onto the gel surface coating the cornea.
