This invention relates to a cornea operating method using an ultraviolet laser, such as an excimer laser for carrying out the correction of flexion abnormality of myopic, hypermetropic and astigmatic corneas or a turbid cornea treatment, and an apparatus used for this cornea operating method. In the method according to this invention, a cornea (1) is cooled before, during and after an operation thereon, and a liquid medicine having cornea curing, healing promoting and antiphlogistic effects is sprinkled or sprayed over the cornea (1) at least before and after an operation, and preferably before, during and after an operation, a laser beam applied to the cornea after an excess liquid medicine has been removed from the cornea. According to the present invention, a side effect caused by the photochemical thermal reaction of a cornea due to the application of a laser beam can be minimized owing to the cooling of the cornea and the action of the liquid medicine. <IMAGE> |
