The laser known as the excimer is categorized as an ultraviolet chemical laser. This type of laser is widely used in laser surgery. It was initially used to make semiconductors during the 1970s, but later moved into the realm of eye surgery. Dr. Rangaswamy Srinivasin, along with his team of researchers, realized how effective the excimer laser could be in working with biological tissue. Another doctor, an ophthalmologist named Dr. Steven Trokel, was instrumental in explaining the way it could be used to work on corneal tissue. Thus, LASIK eye surgery was born.
While a few different kinds of lasers exist, the excimer laser is usually chosen for corrective eye surgery. The reason for this is that it is the most advanced technologically of the lasers in existence. Its known as a cool laser, meaning it can remove a specific part of the corneal tissue while avoiding damage to other tissues next to it. Incredibly, the excimer has the precision to cut away one-half percent of the width of a human hair. This is proof enough that this laser is no mere gimmick, but rather a real technological breakthrough.
Computer technology, coupled with the precise ability of this laser, has made LASIK surgery emerge as the most popular choice for people with refractive error. It is operated by a technician who focuses the tiny, cool laser beams to incise the corneal surface, while the surgery itself is performed by an ophthalmologist. The procedure is done with extensive safeguards, and great care is taken. The combination of specialists ensures that the treatment is both highly effective, and safe.
Eyesight is surely the most treasured of our five senses. After all, your eyes provide a window to our world. Thats why its so important to get the right kind of surgery using the most precise instruments, and with a minimum of side effects. LASIK surgery can offer you just that. Its a technological marvel that will perform operations precisely and reliably. Thats why it has gained a foothold as the most common form of corrective eye surgery.
