Class of ultraviolet lasers that removes tissue accurately without heating it. In refractive corneal surgery, controlled by computer to make precise pre-programmed shavings of eye tissue to produce a given optical correction. Used for photorefractive keratectomy (PRK); combined with automated lamellar keratoplasty (ALK) to produce LASIK (laser in situ keratomileusis).
