Definitions for "EXCIMER LASER"
(EKS-ih-mur): Class of ultraviolet lasers that removes tissue accurately without heating it. In refractive corneal surgery, controlled by computer to make precise pre-programmed shavings of eye tissue to produce a given optical correction.
The excimer laser is the actual device that is used in many vision correction procedures. It is a cool laser that changes the shape of the cornea by eliminating tissue.
A high-energy, cold laser that is used to reshape or sculpt the cornea surface to change the refractive power of the cornea.
a high powered light source that can be used to produce narrow bandwidth light in the deep Ultra-Voilet at different wavelengths by using different combinations of gases
