This study proposes a treatment to improve post-trauma corneal wound healing through application of short-lived bursts of reactive oxygen species obtained via ionization of interstitial water by an ultrafast laser-induced low-density plasma. Laser irradiation has been restricted to intensities below the optical breakdown threshold and applied onto interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in aqueous solution, and rabbit corneas in vivo with epithelium removed to simulate external trauma. Quantitative ELISA assays have shown lowered binding affinity of the laser-treated IL-1β to receptor IL1-R1 in aqueous solutions. Laser application on epithelium removed in-vivo rabbit corneas resulted in a preservation of stromal keratocytes and accelerated healing.
