An excimer laser, sometimes more correctly called an exciplex laser, is a form of ultraviolet laser which is commonly used in the production of microelectronic devices, semiconductor based integrated circuits or "chips", eye surgery, and micromachining.
With nine biweekly treatments, the 308-nm excimer laser showed a response rate of 60–70% for pigmentation stimulation in hypopigmented scars. To preserve the effects, though, a follow-up treatment is required every 1-4 months.
Meanwhile, experiments in 1970 using a xenon dimer and in 1975 using noble gas halides resulted in the invention of a type of laser called an excimer laser. While excimer lasers were initially used for industrial purposes, in 1980, Rangaswamy Srinivasan, a scientist of IBM who was using an excimer laser to make microscopic circuits in ...
Rangaswamy Srinivasan and James Wynne filed a patent application on the ultraviolet excimer laser, in 1986, issued in 1988. [32] In 1989, Gholam A. Peyman was granted a US patent for using an excimer laser to modify corneal curvature. [33] It was, "A method and apparatus for modifying the curvature of a live cornea via use of an excimer laser.
Laser blended vision is a laser eye treatment which is used to treat presbyopia (ageing eyes; [1] progressive loss of the ability to focus on nearby objects) or other age-related eye conditions. [1] It can be used to help people that simply need reading glasses, and also those who have started to need bifocal or varifocal spectacle correction ...
In neurosurgery, excimer laser-assisted non-occlusive anastomosis (ELANA) is a technique used to create a bypass without interrupting the patient's blood supply. The technique reduces the risk of stroke and aneurysm rupture. [1] ELANA is similar to other cerebral bypass techniques, such as anastomosis.

The Schwind Amaris laser operates at 500 pulses per second and is the first laser to use two energy levels for corneal tissue removal. Approximately 80% of the tissue is removed with high energy to speed up treatment, while the remaining tissue is removed with low energy for increased precision.
