Step 3- The Laser

An Excimer Laser is an extremely precise laser that uses ultraviolet light to remove minute amounts of corneal tissue. Each pulse of the laser removes mere microns of tissue, far less than the thickness of a strand of your hair.

At the Atlanta Vision Clinic, this cool temperature light beam is extremely safe because each pulse produces virtually no damage to the surrounding tissue.

A very rapid and painless sequence of laser pulses complete the desired correction in a matter of only seconds.
