Abstract

As a matter of fact, the laser techniques have been rapidly development thanks to the improvements of material science offering high quality gaining material. With the advent of the chipper pulse amplification, Q-switch as well as mode lock techniques, high power femtosecond laser is available easily in recent years. Contemporarily, the femtosecond laser has become widely adopted in various fields, especially ophthalmic surgery. With this in mind, this study will provide an overview of femtosecond laser in usage for eye surgeon. To be specific, it will include principle, features, applications as well as other requirements for utilizing the facilities. Moreover, the state-of-art facilities will also be demonstrated at the same time. According to the analysis, the limitations will be demonstrated simultaneously. In addition, the improvements requirements as well as the possible routines will also be discussed. Overall, these results shed light on guiding further exploration of laser techniques in medical usage.
