Blue intratissue refractive index shaping (blue-IRIS) is a method with potential to correct ocular refraction noninvasively in humans. To date, blue-IRIS has only ever been applied to cat corneas and hydrogels. To test the comparability of refractive index change achievable in cat and human tissues, we used blue-IRIS to write identical phase gratings in ex vivo feline and human corneas. Femtosecond pulses (400 nm) were focused ? 300 ?? ? m below the epithelial surface of excised cat and human corneas and scanned to write phase gratings with lines ? 1 ?? ? m wide, spaced 5 ?? ? m apart, using a scan speed of 5 ?? mm / s . Additional cat corneas were used to test writing at 3 and 7 ?? mm / s in order to document speed dependence of the refractive index change magnitude. The first-order diffraction efficiency was immediately measured and used to calculate the refractive index change attained. Our data show that blue-IRIS induces comparable refractive index changes in feline and human corneas, an essential requirement for further developing its use as a clinical vision correction technique.
