Step 14 – Create a new layer for the Excimer laser
Create a new layer and position it as the top layer. Rename this layer to “Excimer laser”.
Step 15 – Create the shape of the laser
Use the polygon lasso tool to create a selection shape like the image below. Start the selection on the center of the pupil.
Fill the selected area with red then press Ctrl+D or choose Select > Deselect to deselect.
Step 16 – Add a layer mask
Add a layer mask to the “Excimer laser” layer. To do this, choose Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal All.
Step 17 – Fade the “Excimer laser” layer
Select the layer mask of the “Excimer laser” layer. Then select the Gradient tool. Using the default Black to White Linear Gradient, draw a gradient from the tip of the laser where the pupil is to the end. You should get a fading effect like the image below.
Make sure that you still have the layer mask of the “Excimer laser” layer selected. Open the levels tool (Ctrl+L or Image > Adjustments > Levels). Move the middle input slider towards the right until the laser fades away from the eye like the image below.
Finally, set the opacity of the “Eximer laser” layer to 75%.
