An eyes-wide-open approach to laser eye safety:

摘要

It was with great interest I read the Canadian Urological Association best practice report (BPR) on Holmium:YAG (Ho:YAG) laser eye safety and the accompanying commentary recently published.1,2 I commend the authors of the BPR on taking an evidence-based approach to laser eye safety, a topic that has previously received little attention but represents an integral part of modern urological practice. The Ho:YAG laser is one of the most commonly employed tools in urology for a multitude of endoscopic applications, and is frequently used not only by endourologists but also general urologists and trainees.
