Our purpose is to present a broad review about the principles, early history, evolution, applications, and complications of femtosecond lasers used in refractive and nonrefractive corneal surgical procedures. Femtosecond laser technology added not only safety, precision, and reproducibility to established corneal surgical procedures such as laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and astigmatic keratotomy, but it also introduced new promising concepts such as the intrastromal lenticule procedures with refractive lenticule extraction (ReLEx). Over time, the refinements in laser optics and the overall design of femtosecond laser platforms led to it becoming an essential tool for corneal surgeons. In conclusion, femtosecond laser is a heavily utilized tool in refractive and nonrefractive corneal surgical procedures, and further technological advances are likely to expand its applications.
我们的目的是对飞秒激光在屈光性和非屈光性角膜手术中的原理、早期历史、发展、应用及并发症进行全面综述。飞秒激光技术不仅为诸如准分子原位角膜磨镶术（LASIK）和散光性角膜切开术等已有的角膜手术增添了安全性、精确性和可重复性，还引入了诸如屈光透镜切除术（ReLEx）等新的有前景的概念。随着时间的推移，激光光学和飞秒激光平台整体设计的改进使其成为角膜外科医生的重要工具。总之，飞秒激光是屈光性和非屈光性角膜手术中广泛使用的工具，进一步的技术进步可能会扩大其应用范围。
