Laser eye surgery. Surgeon carrying out excimer laser refractive surgery on a patient's eyes. The surgeon here is using a micro-cutting device to make a circular incision on the top of the cornea. The flap is lifted and the laser acts for a few seconds to correct the defect. The cornea is then sealed shut again. Excimer laser refractive surgery uses an excimer laser,a type of laser suitable for use on human tissue,to correct the refractive state of the eye. This is usually to correct short-sightedness or long-sightedness. Photographed at the Fondation Rothschild,Paris,France | |
