Since the early 1990s, laser vision correction has revolutionized eye surgery and freed millions of people from wearing vision-correcting glasses or contact lenses. Myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia can all be treated effectively with the non-thermally damaging and precisely controllable argon fluoride excimer laser beam. Every year, as the number of surgical procedures increases, the demand for reliable, cost-effective excimer sources continues to grow.
Coherent is a leading supplier of light sources for this steadily expanding niche market. As the first company to engineer extremely reliable, high-repetition-rate excimer lasers specifically for this application, we have become the supplier of choice for many industry leaders in vision correction.
Today, over a million vision correction procedures are performed annually with Coherent sources. In order to maintain our status as the premier supplier of ophthalmologic laser sources, we will continue to improve the performance and cost characteristics of our products.
