The EXCIMER LASER uses two primary vision correction surgeries - PRK (Photo Refractive Keratectomy) & LASIK (Laser assisted In - Situ Keratomileusis).

PRK involves removal of less than ten percent of the corneal tissue. It sculpts the surface of the cornea, changing its curvature.

Photo refractive keratectomy (PRK) combined with Laser Assisted In - Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) uses an instrument called Microkeratome to create a thin flap of corneal tissue. This flap is folded to the side and Excimer Laser is used sculpt the cornea. The Excimer Laser produces an invisible beam of intense ultraviolet light, delivered in short bursts of energy called pulses. The corneal flap is then replaced.
