Human hair etched with excimer laser technology
Its ability to remove corneal tissue with accuracy up to 0.25 microns (0.00004 of an inch) with each pulse makes the Excimer laser so well suited for correcting vision. Often, only 50 microns of tissue (about the thickness of a human hair) are removed to achieve the proper amount of correction.

Excimer laser breaks molecular layers
The Excimer laser produces a “cool” light beam that does not damage surrounding tissue. High-energy photons from the laser break the molecular bonds a few layers a time.
