| Experiences
with Excimer lasers date back to 1983.
Since then, university clinics in the USA, England and Germany have
developed Excimer Laser surgery to today's standards of precision.
The Excimer laser is a cold light laser which reshapes the cornea through
contact-free ablation. This change influences the refractive power of
the cornea and allows the correction of an existing refractive error.
The laser procedures used today:
 Photorefractive
Keratectomy (PRK), LASEK and Epi-LASIK
Laser
in-situ Keratomileusis (LASIK).
At the FreeVis Centers we
use only the newest technology in Excimer lasers.
E.g., the so-called "flying spot lasers".
With this technology, a freely programmable small laser spot is moved
over the surface of the cornea. It can be used for a standard LASIK
procedure for the correction of nearsightedness, farsightedness and
astigmatism as well as for LASIK procedures using wavefront and aberrometer
technology.
In addition to the excimer laser another laser, the femto second
laser (e.g. Intralase) can be used to cut the corneal flap.
