NIDEK EXCIMER LASER CORNEAL SURGERY SYSTEM, model Quest, is an ophthalmic laser system used for correction of corneal refraction and ablation of the corneal surface. The system is composed of a laser generator which produces an excimer laser radiation of wavelength 193nm, a beam delivery unit, an optical system for observation, a gas system, and a computer for system control. The system is designed to be user friendly for easy and safe operation with NIDEK’s advanced optoelectronic technology.
A mains electricity (AC-powered) device assembly in which input energy is used to excite an excimer gas to emit a high-power laser beam intended for corneal ablation (i.e., photorefractive keratectomy) and other ophthalmologic procedures (e.g., surgical creation of a communication between the lacrimal sac and the nasal cavity). It includes a light source and controls/foot-switch, and is typically coupled to a biomicroscope slit lamp or to an indirect ophthalmoscope by a flexible fibreoptic cable. It does not include femtosecond pulsing or fundus imaging technology.
