Laser Theatre

The Visumax femtosecond laser is the very latest technology, developed to perform surgery and refractive corrections on a cornea. It differs from the Excimer laser in that it functions within a cornea instead of on its surface. The excimer laser is an extremely accurate high-tech device used to perform Laser vision correction on the surface of a cornea to restore vision in patients who wear glasses or contact lenses.
