Methods and devices for performing corrective eye surgery generally direct a laser beam at a target region of a patient's eye with the laser beam having a non-uniform energy distribution profile. As ablation rates vary locally across the beam cross-section, the energy distribution profile is tailored to effect a uniform ablation depth with each laser pulse of an excimer laser system.

The compact medical injector apparatus of claim 1, wherein indicia is positioned on at least one of the first casing side and the second casing side, and said indicia includes information relating to the fluid medication stored within the medical injector apparatus, and instructions relating to the use and disposal of the medical injector apparatus. 8. The compact medical injector apparatus of claim 1, wherein the spring means comprises one of: a leaf spring, a coiled spring, a resilient spacer and a resilient foam member. 9. The compact medical injector apparatus of claim 1, wherein the safety guard comprises a U-shaped member having a top portion and depending side portions, with apertures extending in axial alignment through the depending side portions, and pins extending through the apertures to rotatably secure the safety guard to the housing. 10. A compact medical injector apparatus, which comprises: a) a first casing portion having a front side, left side, right side, bottom side and top side, the first casing portion further having a stationary bar with a column aperture extending therethrough; b) a second casing portion having a back side, left side, right side, bottom side and top side, the second casing portion further having a stationary bar with a column aperture extending therethrough; the second casing portion secured to the first casing portion to form a housing with a fluid chamber therebetween; c) a pusher bar slidably received on the top side of the housing between the first casing portion and the second casing portion at a location above the stationary bar; d) a wedge shaped member connected to the pusher bar by a column, the wedge shaped member slidably received in a wedge shaped reservoir within the fluid chamber located between the first and second casing portions at a location below the stationary bar, the fluid chamber further having a bore extending between the fluid chamber and the bottom portion of the housing; e) a liquid dispensing needle secured to the wedge shaped member, with a fluid receiving port positioned on the dispensing needle, the fluid receiving port extending within the dispensing chamber; f) a biasing means to raise the pusher bar, the wedge shaped member, and the dispensing needle into a raised, non-dispensing position; g) a resilient sleeve positioned within the bore provided, the resilient sleeve having a top flange, with side walls sized to slidably receive the dispensing needle therethrough, the resilient sleeve further with a bottom portion to seal the dispensing needle within the wedge shaped reservoir, until the dispensing needle is pushed through the bottom portion when the pusher bar is manually depressed against the biasing means, to extend the needle beyond the bottom portion of the housing; h) a safety guard is pivotally positioned on the top portion of the housing to cover the pusher bar in a non-use position, and the safety guard is pivotally positioned to access the pusher bar in an at-use position, the safety guard to protect against inadvertent actuation of the pusher bar; and i) a viewing window is provided in the housing adjacent to the wedge shaped reservoir, to provide a visual indication of the presence of medication fluid within the medical injector apparatus. 11. The compact medical injector apparatus of claim 10, wherein the seal means is a breakable seal which extends between the housing and the safety guard, and said breakable seal means provides a visual indication when the seal means is broken, indicating that the medical injector apparatus has been used. 12. The compact medical injector apparatus of claim 10, wherein the length and width of the housing is sized to be similar to the length and width of a credit card, and the thickness of the housing is size d to be less than one inch thick, for ease of transport and storage between use. 13. The compact medical injector apparatus of claim 10, wherein a resilient seal is provided between the wedge shaped member and the stationary bar on the housing to seal the liquid medication within the wedge shaped reservoir. 14. The compact medical injector apparatus of claim 10, wherein the housing comprises a central housing member, with the central housing member shaped to provide a wedge shaped reservoir located beneath a stationary bar, the first casing side secured to a one side of the central housing member, and the second casing side secured to the opposite side of the central housing member, the first and second casing sides enclosing the wedge shaped reservoir therebetween. 15. The compact medical injector apparatus of claim 10, wherein indicia is positioned on at least one of the first casing side and the second casing side, and said indicia includes information relating to the fluid medication stored within the medical injector apparatus, and instructions relating to the use and disposal of the medical injector apparatus. 16. The compact medical injector apparatus of claim 10, wherein the spring means comprises one of: a leaf spring, a coiled spring, a resilient spacer and a resilient foam member. 17. The compact medical injector apparatus of claim 10, wherein the safety guard comprises a U-shaped member having a top portion and depending side portions, with apertures extending in axial alignment through the depending side portions, and pins extending through the apertures to rotatably secure the safety guard to the housing. 18. A compact medical injector apparatus, which comprises: a) a first casing portion having a front side, left side, right side, bottom side and top side, the first casing portion further having a stationary bar with a column aperture extending therethrough; b) a second casing portion having a back side, left side, right side, bottom side and top side, the second casing portion further having a stationary bar with a column aperture extending therethrough; the second casing portion secured to the first casing portion to form a housing with a fluid chamber therebetween; c) a pusher bar slidably received on the top side of the housing between the first casing portion and the second casing portion at a location above the stationary bar; d) a wedge shaped member connected to the pusher bar by a column, the wedge shaped member slidably received in a wedge shaped reservoir within the fluid chamber located between the first and second casing portions at a location below the stationary bar, the fluid chamber further having a bore extending between the fluid chamber and the bottom portion of the housing; e) a resilient seal is provided between the wedge shaped member and the stationary bar on the housing to seal the liquid medication within the wedge shaped reservoir; f) a liquid dispensing needle secured to the wedge shaped member, with a fluid receiving port positioned on the dispensing needle, the fluid receiving port extending within the dispensing chamber; g) a biasing means to raise the pusher bar, the wedge shaped member, and the dispensing needle into a raised, non-dispensing position; h) a resilient sleeve positioned within the bore provided, the resilient sleeve having a top flange, with side walls sized to slidably receive the dispensing needle therethrough, the resilient sleeve further with a bottom portion to seal the dispensing needle within the wedge shaped reservoir, until the dispensing needle is pushed through the bottom portion when the pusher bar is manually depressed against the biasing means, to extend the needle beyond the bottom portion of the housing; i) a safety guard is pivotally positioned on the top portion of the housing to cover the pusher bar in a non-use position, and the safety guard is pivotally positioned to access the pusher bar in an at-use position, the safety guard to pro
