Excimer laser ablation is a laser-based procedure used to treat refractive vision problems, such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, by reshaping the cornea. The excimer laser precisely removes microscopic layers of corneal tissue to correct its shape, allowing light entering the eye to focus more accurately on the retina.

Excimer laser ablation is commonly used in LASIK and PRK surgeries to improve vision, reducing the need for glasses or contact lenses. The procedure is highly effective, with many patients achieving 20/25 vision or better.

This laser technique offers fast results, with minimal discomfort and quick recovery times, making it one of the most popular refractive surgery options.
