Laser microkeratome is intended for use in the creation of a corneal flap by producing short bursts of laser pulses. It is a safe and effective alternative for LASIK flap creation. It offers an accurate, reproducible way to make even very thin flaps, which are precisely centered and have extremely smooth beds.

Laser photorefractive keratectomy system is designed to produce a smooth keratectomy bed, to minimise the healing response, and to reduce the regression of the refractive result. It is intended to correct a person's vision and reduce his dependency on glasses or contact lenses. The laser removes layers of corneal tissue to flatten the cornea, reducing myopia and astigmatism.

Laser retinoscope is used for measuring the refractive condition of a patient's eyes. It uses a He-Ne laser as its light source. By using a polarized laser the specular reflections from the eye are completely suppressed. The retinoscope lends itself to refractions under normal room illumination. Patients find the light from the laser retinoscope less bothersome than that of the usual tungsten filament lamp.

Laser scanning confocal microscope allows users to perform three-dimensional microscopy of fluorescently labeled specimens or reflective surfaces. This is accomplished by imaging objects through a small pinhole aperture, thereby preventing detection of all light except for that originating from a thin optical section. By collecting a series of optical sections through the thickness of the specimen, images of its three-dimensional organization can be collected, assembled, and evaluated using specialized reconstruction software. Confocal microscopy is particularly well suited to the examination of thick specimens. It is also a useful tool for materials scientists interested in topological characterization of surfaces.

Laser surgical systems, Photocoagulator laser is a laser combined with an ophthalmoscope for directing bursts of coherent light through a human eye to burn selected points on a detached retina. The subsequent healing of the burns causes scars that weld the retina back into position.

Laser thermokeratoplasty (LTK) is used to treat farsightedness and astigmatism. During this procedure a laser beam uses heat to shrink and reshape the cornea. Vision is corrected in a matter of seconds, without any cutting or removal of tissue.

In laser-based point scanning confocal microscope, the excitation laser source is scanned across the specimen in a point-by-point raster pattern, so that, over time, a complete image of the focal plane is collected. The emitted light is then collected by the objective, passed through a pinhole aperture and detected by a photomultiplier tube (PMT). The resulting image is reconstructed and displayed by a computer. It offers some extraordinary advantages. It allows extremely thin optical sectioning of specimens, permitting the viewing of structures and intracellular features. It offers the highest level of confocality and the ability to do very thin optical sections.
