The science
How do excimer lasers work?
No burning, no cutting: cool ultraviolet light reshapes the cornea with extraordinary precision.
Ultraviolet light, not heat
An excimer laser produces ultraviolet light that is absorbed by tissue. Rather than burning or cutting, the laser’s energy disrupts the molecular bonds of the surface tissue in a precisely controlled manner through ablation.
Exceptionally fine layers
These lasers can remove exceptionally fine layers of surface material with almost no change to the remainder of the tissue, which is left intact.
Reshaping your cornea
Precise, efficient laser technology reshapes the layers of the cornea to treat your refractive error, the source of blurry vision.
