excimer laser for the treatment of myopia

According to statistics, in 1986, 21 million U.S. hospital surgeries have been 2.5 million cases in the use of CO2 laser scalpel, 12% of the total operation, the U.S. National 2 / 3 of outpatient has laser medical equipment. In the U.S. the new laser medical equipment and medical technology continues to occur, for example, disc 20-25 million U.S. patients each year, of which 10-20% can be removed with a laser; the United States, 14 million people who want to remove the tattoo, the United States each year 450,000 patients diagnosed with kidney stones, of which 1 / 3 or with endoscopic laser lithotripsy technology, characterization of the cornea with the excimer laser for vision correction has been made to more than 20,000 cases, the United States in 1995 FDA approved for use, expected in 1996 may have 200-300 units sold in the U.S. excimer laser for the treatment of myopia, the output value of about 8000-12000 million dollars; in 1995 to promote the CO2 laser cosmetic surgery, especially to remove wrinkles surgery are welcome to promote the cause of these two operations in 1995 increased the income of medical lasers. The quality of laser pointer has been improved more after the technical problem was tackled.
This method is called to remove wrinkles and then smooth the skin laser therapy, the price of each treatment in the United States from $ 800 to $ 4,500 (not including insurance premiums), which estimated the market size of the skin and then smooth up to 1.5 billion dollar, which has attracted at least eight companies for the smooth skin and then release CO2 laser laser therapy system. It is predicted that the first generation of soft-tissue dental laser machine in the early nineties up to several thousand units sold, sales of $ 090 million, the second generation of hard-tissue dental laser machine may replace most of the mechanical dental drill market. In early 1994, the Japanese optoelectronics industry in Japan Technology Promotion Association announced the laser - optoelectronics industry production value in 1992-1993, here only the situation in 1993. 1993 Japanese optoelectronics industry output value of 3.785 trillion yen forecast (If 110 Japan: 1 U.S. dollar terms, should be $ 34.4 billion), compared with 3.5066 trillion yen in 1992 rose by 7.9%. Opto-electronics industry, including optoelectronic devices and optoelectronic components in two parts, which optoelectronic devices is 2.8086 trillion yen (about 255 million), optoelectronic components for the 976.4 billion yen (about $ 8.9 billion). The disassembly procedure of laser pointer is easy actually.
