The unparalleled precision of the Excimer laser makes it uniquely suited to the task of refractive corneal surgery. Each pulse of the laser removes 0.25 microns of tissue. The equivalent of slicing 1/200 off a human hair, 1/28 of a red blood cell – and in 4 billionths of a second. This allows the surgeon to literally sculpt the cornea into a more desirable shape, gently and precisely, and allows rays of light to focus properly on the retina.

With wavefront aberrometry and computer control, the precision now available gives excellent post-operative vision quality. Most patients report seeing better than they have ever seen with glasses or contact lenses.
