ABSTRACT
The features of interaction of laser radiation with iris tissue were determined in experimental morphological study. The potential of laser irradiation with different spectral characteristics for pupil ectopia correction is estimated. The results of morphometry showed effectiveness of near-infrared diode laser radiation, that presents as an iris contraction in coagulation region with minimal tissue trauma. This fact allows us to propose a near-infrared diode laser radiation as a treatment option for correction of pupil form and location. Alternatively visible wave-length laser showed to be less effective and more traumatic.

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a newly developing technique in dentistry, although it has been used among medical, dental, physiotherapy, and veterinary professions in some parts of the world for decades. LLLT can offer tremendous therapeutic benefits to patients, such as accelerated wound healing and pain relief. There is much to be learned about the mechanisms, recognition of the therapeutic window, and how to properly use these cellular phenomena to reach the treatment goals.
