Ophthalmic system based on excimer KrCl laser (223 nm)

Review of development and clinical trials conclusions of the ophthalmic KrCl (223 nm) laser system is presented. Medical safety, physical and technical advantages of the new laser system in comparison with widespread ArF (193 nm) laser systems for refractive surgery are demonstrated. The method of eye virus diseases treatment by usage of the KrCl laser radiation is proposed.
