ABSTRACT:
A method of ocular surgery wherein low power radio waves are transmitted from the tip of an active incising electrode and used to make incisions in the tissues of the eye. A high impedance contact is provided between the surgical subject and a grounding plate connected to the radio wave generator. The use of the low power radio wave energy and the high impedance contact prevents the active incising electrode from becoming hot and causing damage to sensitive tissues of the eye.
