| laser trabeculoplasty | An operation for glaucoma in which laser energy is applied to trabecular meshwork.a procedure in which a laser (usually argon) is used to create small openings in the trabecular network of the eye. This improves the flow of the aqueous humor and relieves pressure owed to open-angle glaucoma, although by what precise mechanism is not known. LTP has proven effective with only certain types of glaucoma (especially capsular and pigmentary glaucomas), and is sometimes used in conjunction with laser iridotomy. Investigations into laser treatments of open-angle glaucoma began in the early 1970s, but not until the late 1980s was LTP adopted as a standard treatment for the condition, with a 2-year success rate of over 70% (dropping to 50% after 5 years). LTP lessens chances of postoperative infection and haemorrhaging, and can be performed on an outpatient basis. LTP joins other laser techniques that have radically altered eye surgery since their advent. (05 Mar 2000) |

| lithotripsy, laser | Fragmentation of calculi, notably urinary or biliary, by laser. It is usually performed with an endoscopically guided pulsed tunable dye laser, a combination of a pulsed laser and a dye laser usually referred to as a pulsed dye laser. It is both safe and effective when extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy is infeasible or unsuccessful. (12 Dec 1998) |
| excimer laser |
The excimer laser produces an ultraviolet beam of light which is emitted in pulses. Each pulse removes 1/4000 millimeter of tissue from the surface of the cornea. It would take about 200 pulses from an excimer laser just to cut a human hair in half. The excimer laser has been used in industry since 1971 and has been used in ophthalmic surgery since 1983.

| excimer laser |
An ultraviolet-based laser that generates energy pulses that when directed by computer control, is used to reshape the surface of the cornea. It was originally designed for etching computer chips. It was approved by the FDA for use in the correction of nearsightedness in 1995.

| excimer laser |
Laser energy produced by several rare gas-halide mixtures. The term excimer comes from the concept of an energized molecule with two identical components or excited dimer (contracted to one word exci-mer). In PRK the term has for practical purposes become synonomous with the argon-fluoride (ArF) gas version. The wave length of an ArF excimer laser is in the far ultraviolet range at 193nm.

| excimer laser |
An argon-fluoride laser that emits ultra-violet light at a wave length of 193 nm. This "cool" laser uses ultra-violet light to alter the front surface of the eye by breaking intra molecular bonds in collagen molecules. This laser was originally developed for use in the microprocessor industry and later found its application in vision correction.
