laser-assisted
Light-beam enhanced procedure
Laser-assisted describes procedures or techniques that use laser technology as part of the process.
Most common in medical contexts: laser-assisted surgery, laser-assisted eye correction.
The laser typically does precision work that would be difficult or impossible by other means: laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
