We have observed corneal curvature changes from laser thermal keratoplasty with a Co:MgF2 laser. We studied corneal curvature changes in rabbits and have identified specific treatment patterns and laser parameters that can correct myopia and astigmatism. These corneal changes, some as large as 8 diopters, have been stable for at least one year, and slitlamp examination demonstrates clear central corneas with normal appearance.
