Zusammenfassung:This article discusses the topic laser technology has revolutionized health and science with its accuracy, low invasiveness, and adaptability. Clinical uses include ophthalmology, dermatology, surgery, and cancer therapy. Scientific research uses lasers to investigate biological tissues and create novel treatments. Lasers may correct refractive errors, cure glaucoma and cataracts, remove hair, treat vascular lesions, and resurface skin. Lasers are utilized in cancer, endometriosis, and varicose vein surgeries. Laser-activated photodynamic therapy (PDT) destroys cancer cells. Molecular biology, genetics, and cancer studies employ laser-assisted microdissection (LAM) to dissect tiny tissue samples. Nanoparticles may improve medicine delivery to cancer cells or create heat for photothermal therapy, improving laser treatments and minimizing tissue damage. Laser technology might transform illness diagnosis, treatment, and biology. Lasers are used in LASIK and PRK in ophthalmology, laser hair removal and skin resurfacing in dermatology, and laser surgery for numerous surgical procedures. Finally, laser technology is revolutionizing illness diagnosis, treatment, and research. We should anticipate more novel and effective laser uses as technology advances.
