Femtosecond laser

Femtosecond laser

An infrared range laser that delivers pulses of energy within the cornea, causing a small controlled explosion of gas that separates the layers of the cornea. The femtosecond laser for ophthalmology use on the eye is manufactured by Intralase and is used to create a Lasik flap in a procedure commonly called All-Laser Lasik or "all laser Lasik".
