Laser eye surgery has increased in popularity in recent years because it can treat several issues in the eye, from vision changes and loss to damage caused by glaucoma and cataracts. Laser surgery is fast, safe, and effective, making it the ideal surgical option for many patients suffering from eye injuries and diseases. However, laser eye surgery is not one-size-fits-all. In fact, several types of lasers may be used for differing procedures. In many cases, a femtosecond laser system may be used. In this article, a specialist in laser eye surgery in Land O’Lakes from the Florida Eye Center shares why this powerful laser is safe and how it works.
