The term laser is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. The use of a laser avoids cutting a flap therefore is safer. The main advantage of lasers in refractive surgery is their ability to be switched off and on rapidly. The lasers are able to target specific tissues that absorb certain wavelengths. This reduces the damage done to the other parts of the eye.
