Excimer Laser Technology
- This is one of the most frequently asked questions about the excimer laser.
- For the first time in 1949, Barrequer initiated studies that laid the foundation for today's laser. He worked on lamellar incisions on the cornea, flap techniques and the use of keratomas.
- Since then, many different experiments have been made.
- In 1987, it was used for the first time in the treatment of corneal stains in humans.
- The LASIK method, the flap method we use today, which is the basis of intralasik, was first applied by Buratto in 1989 in seeing eyes, that is, in the human eye.
- In other words, the first discovery of the excimer laser dates back 71 years, while the flap methods we use today date back 31 years.
