Abstract
The goal of this presentation is to demonstrate that a simple and novel method based on delivering transient electrical pulses through tapered glass structures has the potential to compete with the ultramicrosurgical action of laser techniques such as the ArF1,2 and Er:YAG3 lasers that have been able to effectively perform in areas of microsurgery, such as vitreoretinal surgery, that require ultraprecise tissue cutting with minimal collateral damage.
