Excimer laser surgery is a type of laser refractive surgery used to correct common vision problems like nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. The excimer laser uses a focused beam of ultraviolet light to precisely reshape the cornea, improving how light is focused onto the retina.

This surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis, with patients experiencing a quick recovery time and minimal discomfort. It is a popular option for patients who want to reduce their dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

Excimer laser surgery is an effective treatment for refractive errors, offering long-lasting improvements in vision for many patients.
