4.
Refractive Errors (Refractive Error)
01/01/1989 - "
The argon fluoride (193 nm) excimer laser is being used to change the anterior corneal curvature for correction of refractive errors.
"
01/01/1996 - "
Corneal photoablation with 193 nm argon fluoride excimer laser is a new technique for the treatment of refractive errors and for removing corneal opacities and irregularities.
"
02/01/1994 - "
The Argon Fluoride (ArF) Excimer laser is currently used for experimental reshaping of the front surface of the cornea for the correction of myopic refractive error (photorefractive keratectomy, PRK) and for smoothing corneal irregularities (phototherapeutic keratectomy, PTK).
