Lacer therapy is a variation of acupuncture therapy. A pinpoint laser beam is used to activate acupuncture points or other small areas for stimulation of that area to achieve a healing process. Lacer, unlike conventional laser therapy, is safe to use around the eyes and often used to treat small painful lesions in the eye. Lacer is used to treat animals that will not tolerate acupuncture needles or other areas that a patient does not like being handled.
