Article Abstract

In this study, a facile and mask-free femtosecond laser direct writing (FLDW) approach is proposed to fabricate porous graphene (FLIG) patterns directly on polyimide (PI) substrates. By systematically adjusting the laser scanning spacing (10-25 μm), denser and more continuous microstructures are obtained, resulting in significantly enhanced thermal sensitivity. The optimized sensor demonstrated a temperature coefficient of 0.698% °C within the range of 40-120 °C, with response and recovery times of 10.3 s and 20.9 s, respectively. Furthermore, it exhibits remarkable signal stability across multiple thermal cycles, a testament to its reliability in extreme conditions. Moreover, the sensor was successfully integrated into a 3D-printed robotic platform, achieving both contact and non-contact temperature detection. These results underscore the sensor's practical adaptability for real-time thermal sensing. This work presents a viable and scalable methodology for fabricating high-performance FLIG-based flexible temperature sensors, with extensive application prospects in wearable electronics, electronic skin, and intelligent human-machine interfaces.

Purpose: To compare postoperative astigmatism and visual acuity (VA) outcomes in patients undergoing penetrating keratoplasty (PK) using a liquid-interface femtosecond laser (LI-fs) trephination and a conventional vacuum-trephine (VT) technique.

Methods: Our single-center, retrospective data analysis included 121 eyes (121 patients) treated between April 2014 and November 2022. Patients received PK either with a LI-fs or a VT system.

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.

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.

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.
