An excimer laser is a powerful kind of laser which is nearly always operated in the ultraviolet (UV) spectral region (→ ultraviolet lasers) and generates nanosecond pulses. The excimer gain medium is a gas mixture, typically containing a noble gas (rare gas) (e.g. argon, krypton, or xenon) and a halogen (e.g. fluorine or chlorine, e.g. as HCl), apart from helium and/or neon as buffer gas.

The IntraLase Method is a 100% blade-free technique used to perform the critical first step in the LASIK procedure: creating the corneal flap. The creation of the corneal flap prepares the eye for the second step of the LASIK procedure, where an excimer laser is used on the inner cornea to correct vision.

LASEK is an abbreviation for Laser Assisted Subepithelial Keratectomy. LASEK is a hybrid of FDA approved PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) and LASIK (Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis). In this procedure, the surface of the cornea is peeled back...
