Laser Types

Excimer lasers, designed for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), are marvels of modern medicine.

Many potential LASIK recipients want to know more about subtle differences among currently approved instruments. But for most people, laser choice makes no significant difference.

Most experts agree that surgeon skill and experience and the quality of care before and after a corrective eye surgery procedure are far more critical factors affecting final LASIK outcomes

Although all approved excimer lasers meet safety and effectiveness criteria established by the FDA, certain people may be better off with one type of laser over another.
