What Is an Excimer?

Because the excimer is not a stable molecule, the excimer laser is a pulsed laser, and lasers with different wavelengths are generated by the cavity filled with a mixture of different rare gases and halogen gases. The full name of excimer laser surgery should be "excimer laser refractive corneal surgery."

Excimer

An excimer is not a stable molecule. It is a molecule that has been formed in a series of physical and chemical reactions caused by the excitation of external energy by laser energy, but has a fleeting lifetime.

Generally only consider eye care if the following conditions are met

Acute, active with eyes

There are usually three methods to correct myopia: 1. Lens correction: include

Now the most advanced

1) Wash eyes, disinfect, and apply local anesthesia (pre-operative preparation).

2) The patient lies flat on the operating table, and the doctor opens the patient's eyes with an eyelid opener.

3) Make a pedicled corneal flap on the cornea and lift it up.

4) Start laser surgery. The doctor accurately guides the laser beam through the microscope and observes the implementation of the entire operation. The patient cooperates according to the doctor's instructions, keeping the head still, and the eyes are looking at the red fixed lamp in the laser lens.

5) Corneal flap reduction.

6) After finishing one eye, repeat the previous operation to make another eye.

7) After the binocular surgery is completed, the patient goes down to the operating table, and the doctor checks the corneal flap reduction with a slit lamp microscope.

8) Leave the operating room and go home to rest.
