Back when I worked in the laser lab, we thought getting a pulse width of a microsecond was good enough, but then we were using a flash pump to stimulate the Nd/YAG rod.

Getting the laser tuned for a short pulse made a lot of difference in the damage a single pulse could do.

In the past ten years, I have had laser work done on both eyes to reduce my Glaucoma pressures.
