1. A system configured to perform an intraocular procedure, said system comprising:
a laser unit comprising an excimer laser source; and
a plurality of laser probes couplable, one at a time, to said laser unit, each of the plurality of laser probes comprising a handheld component, a delivery tip insertable into an incision of an eye, and a fiber optic core configured to transmit laser energy from the excimer laser source to a target tissue for treatment thereof, wherein the plurality of laser probes comprises different laser probes having different characteristics, wherein the plurality of laser probes further comprises:
a first laser probe comprising a first handheld component having a first size or shape, and
a second laser probe comprising a second handheld component having a second size or shape that is different than the first size or shape,
wherein each of the first laser probe and the second laser probe are each compatible for use with the laser unit,
wherein each of the plurality of laser probes further comprises an outer jacket surrounding the fiber optic core, and
wherein a first outer jacket of the first handheld component comprises a first degree of flexibility and a second outer jacket of the second handheld component comprises a second degree of flexibility different from the first degree of flexibility.
