Transition Zone - In a laser procedure, the area between the optical ablation zone and the untreated area of the cornea. The laser removes tissue more deeply in the center of the ablation zone, and gradually tapers off through the transition zone, to the original corneal tissue outside the ablation zone.

Excimer laser is an ultraviolet laser used in refractive surgery to remove corneal tissue.

: It has a suction ring that keeps your eye pressurized, which is important in LASIK for allowing the surgeon to cut the corneal flap. Dr. Boothe, the surgeon will use an ink marker to mark the cornea before the flap is created. The flap is then created with either a microkeratome or with a laser, depending on the surgeon's preference.
