Femtosecond Laser
This new generation laser reshapes the cornea with pulses of light lasting just one billionth of one-millionth of a second, resulting in very smooth treatments. Using the equipment’s computer-generated 3-D mapping system, your physician customizes your procedure with extreme precision. This laser is used to make the flap in LASIK and to create the thin wafer-like lenticular in the Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE), a single-step laser procedure that is less invasive than LASIK.
Excimer Laser
By using ultra-short pulses of ultraviolet light beams, this laser sculpts the cornea to the proper shape to recover vision quickly with less discomfort. We use the excimer laser directly on the corneal surface to treat patients with thinner corneas or those vulnerable to injuries, such as athletes or first responders. The excimer laser is also used in LASIK to reshape the cornea under a superficial flap made by the femtosecond laser. Different computer-guided treatment algorithms are used for so-called “wavefront-guided,” “wavefront-optimized,” and ”topographic-guided” excimer laser treatments.
All our lasers use eye-tracking technology to ensure meticulous positioning, even if your eye moves during your procedure.
