Original Source: Optic Nerve Sheath Fenestration
The purpose of this study is to develop a way to perform safer surgery in the eye socket. The eye and its surrounding structures are very delicate and can easily be damaged from surgery. A laser may act as a gentle knife to cut the tissue. Currently, this is done with a small scissors and knife, but it could be done with gentle laser. By using an endoscope, the surgery could be much safer and faster. Vanderbilt has a Free Electron Laser, which could be used to make a small...
