The impact of using a Femtosecond laser on final functional results of penetrating kerato-plasty is low. The corneal incisions presented here result from laser ablations with ultrafastdesorption by impulsive vibrational excitation (DIVE). The results of the current study arebased on the first proof-of-principle experiments using a mobile, newly introduced picosec-ond infrared laser system, and indicate that wavelengths in the mid-infrared range centeredat 3 $\mu$m are efficient for obtaining applanation-free deep cuts on porcine corneas.
