Abbott medical optics lasik and other forms of laser refractive surgery such as prk and lasek all use a highly specialized excimer laser to reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors including myopia nearsightedness hyperopia farsightedness and astigmatism.
Excimer laser visx star s4 ir.
The visx star s4 ir excimer laser system is designed to bring advanced customvue laser vision correction to life.
Advanced state of the art technology surgical suite efficiency consistency and accuracy of results.
These aberrometry measurements made on the patient s visual system are processed and then used to directly guide the new customized corneal profile created by the visx star s4 ir excimer laser.
Laser vision correction technology is truly amazing.
Featuring vss refractive technology variable spot scanning and vrr variable repetition rate pulse packing algorithm both proprietary to amo the visx star s4 ir excimer laser reduces thermal effects on the cornea allowing the user to perform.
How does the visx star s4 ir excimer laser and wavescan wavefront diagnostic system work.
The star s4 ir excimer laser and the idesign system is indicated for wavefront guided lasik in patients with myopia as measured by the idesign system up to 11 00 d se with up to 5 00 d cylinder.
Variable beam sizes scanned over the treatment area conserve.
Variable spot scanning vss.
Featuring vss refractive technology variable spot scanning and vrr variable.
In patients with hyperopia with or without astigmatism as measured by the idesign system up to 4 00 d se with up to 2 00 d cylinder.
Visx star s4 ir excimer laser.
Using the advanced wavescan wavefront diagnostic system a computerized map of the eye will be created and entered into the visx star s4 ir.
The star s4 ir excimer laser system is designed to bring advanced customvue laser vision correction to life.
Integrating your custom idesign refractive studio measurements the star s4 ir utilizes these exclusive visx technologies to deliver precision custom refractive surgery.
Utilized millions of times this laser system empowers our team of surgeons to perform lasik very efficiently with highly successfully outcomes.
In the united states compared to the visx star s4 ir the second most popular excimer laser system is the wavelight allegretto manufactured by alcon.
By reshaping extremely small and precise areas of corneal tissue with an excimer laser light entering your eye can land more directly onto your retina for clearer vision.
Visx star s4 ir state of the art technology laser vision correction the visx laser in our laser suite is performed within minutes but it is the fruit of several years of intensive research and clinical trials culminating in its approval by the fda in 1995.
