Article Abstract
With the recent expansion of additive manufacturing (AM) in industries, there is an intense need to improve the surface quality of AM parts. A functional surface with extreme wettability would explore the application of AM in medical implants and microfluid. In this research, we propose to superimpose the femtosecond (fs) laser induced period surface structures (LIPSS) in the nanoscale onto AM part surfaces with the micro structures that are fabricated in the AM process. A hierarchical structure that has a similar morphology to a lotus leaf surface is obtained by combining the advantages of liquid assisting fs laser processing and AM. A water contact angle (WCA) of 150° is suggested so that a super hydrophobic surface is achieved. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis indicate that both hierarchical structures and higher carbon content in the laser processed area are responsible for the super hydrophobicity.

Femtosecond Laser Flap-in-Flap Technique for Correction of Post-LASIK Myopic Regression.
J Refract Surg
September 2025
Purpose: To discuss the technique and outcome of what the authors called the "flap-in-flap" technique and report its safety as a procedure for correction of post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) myopic regression.
Methods: Seven eyes of 4 patients were included in this study. All patients had previously undergone LASIK for compound myopic astigmatism using the Moria M2 micro-keratome (Moria) 8 to 12 years prior to presentation.
Change in Corneal Tomography Following Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Lenticule Intrastromal Keratoplasty (LIKE) in Correcting Moderate to High Hyperopia.
J Refract Surg
September 2025
Department of Refractive Surgery, Aier Eye Hospital, Jinan University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.
Purpose: To report the refractive outcome of femtosecond laser-assisted lenticule intrastromal keratoplasty (LIKE) in correcting moderate to high hyperopia. Intraoperative effective optical zone (EOZ), centration offset, and postoperative higher order aberrations (HOAs) were analyzed to better understand factors affecting postoperative outcomes.
Methods: This was a prospective, consecutive case series study of LIKE for correcting hyperopia in one department from 2018 to 2023.
Assessing Eye Movement Dynamics and Fixation Stability Between Eyes During Same-Session Bilateral LASIK.

September 2025
American University of Beirut Ophthalmology Department, Beirut, Lebanon.
Purpose: To investigate eye movement dynamics during excimer laser ablation, specifically femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK), and compare movement patterns between the right eye (always operated on first) and the left eye (operated on second), analyzing direction, magnitude, and temporal changes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 92 eyes from 46 patients who underwent FS-LASIK with the SCHWIND AMARIS system (SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions). Eye-tracking data were collected to record horizontal and vertical directional movements; variability was assessed using standardized metrics.

Modern surgical strategies for keratoconus aim to both stabilize disease progression and correct induced refractive errors. Effectively and simultaneously achieving both goals remains a relevant challenge. This study presents a clinical case of femtosecond laser-assisted intrastromal keratoplasty with implantation of a biosynthetic complex, demonstrating the efficacy of this surgical approach in treating keratoconus.

We introduce a novel method using a kilohertz (kHz) amplified 800 nm laser for the first experimental confinement of microparticles within a single beam. This study demonstrates that high-energy kHz pulses can confine 1-μm-radius polystyrene beads in water within ∼26 μm. This approach utilizes the unique properties of high-energy pulsed lasers, distinct from continuous-wave and megahertz pulsed lasers traditionally used in optical trapping.
