Medical lasers have revolutionised modern medicine and have become an essential tool for diagnosis, treatment, and surgical procedures. These devices use light energy to cut, vaporise, coagulate, and sterilise tissue, making them incredibly versatile in medicine. This article will discuss the several types of medical lasers, their applications ...
The medical optical device industry is highly fragmented but has become the largest single technology sector in medicine today. When contrasted to radiology, it appears underfunded for research, where point-of-care tools such as surgery, endoscopy, laparoscopy, ophthalmology, pulse oximetry, and monitoring have more potential for development through research investment.

Optics has enabled laser surgery, optical diagnostic techniques, and visualization of the body's interior (see Figures 2.1 and 2.2 and Boxes 2.1 and 2.2).. Although the applications of optics to surgery and medicine have increased rapidly since the invention of the laser in 1960, a number of optical techniques were used before that time.
