Summary:Apparatus for performing ultraviolet laser ablation of a surface, eg. an eye surface, including a laser delivery system ( 7 ) having a laser source ( 1 ) for generating a laser beam ( 2 ) and optics for applying the laser beam to the surface to be ablated, means ( 20, 20 ') for providing a compatible liquid ( 32 ) in contact with the surface ( 4 a) to be ablated, in a position whereby said laser beam ( 2 ) is applied to said surface through the liquid, wherein the laser beam is of a wavelength that substantially is not absorbed by the liquid.
