ABSTRACT:
A laser treatment apparatus is constructed from a [a] laser apparatus10equipped with a laser light generating device11which has a solid-state laser12that generates a specified laser light, a fiber light amplifier20that amplifies the laser light generated by this laser light generating device, and a wavelength converter40that converts the amplified laser light into treatment laser light with a wavelength of approximately 193 nm using a nonlinear optical crystal, and [b] an irradiation optical device60which conducts the treatment laser light generated by this laser apparatus to the surface of the cornea and irradiates the surface of the cornea. As a result, a laser treatment apparatus can be obtained which is especially suitable for treatment of the cornea, and which uses a solid-state laser apparatus that is easy to maintain and that has a compact and light-weight construction.
