Cette propriété en fait un outil chirurgical de choix comme instrument de section et de vaporisation. Il a été et reste employé chez l’Homme dans de nombreuses interventions concernant l’œil et ses annexes. Après avoir rappelé le principe de fonctionnement des lasers et leurs effets sur les tissus, les différentes applications existantes en ophtalmologie humaine sont exposées. On peut dégager de ces applications et de la littérature vétérinaire actuelle un ensemble des interventions réalisables avec le laser CO2 sur l’œil et les annexes oculaires des animaux, organisé selon les structures anatomiques concernées.
