摘要：
A system and method are provided for treating VitreoRetinal-Interface Syndromes (VRS) by using a femtosecond laser system to relieve vitreoretinal adhesions in an eye. Operationally, fibers in the vitreous body are severed by the laser system to create Posterior Vitreous Detachments (PVD) that relieve the adhesions. In a first embodiment for the present invention, tissue material on selected planes within the vitreous body is photoaltered to sever the fibers. Sequentially, or alternatively, to the first embodiment, in another embodiment, fibers at or near the vitreoretinal interface of the eye are photoaltered for this same purpose.
