VISX™ CustomVue™ LASIK Eye Surgery
- Advanced CustomVue™ LASIK procedures are WaveScan™-guided, which enables your LASIK surgeon to measure and correct unique imperfections in your individual vision, previously not possible using standard methods for glasses or contact lenses.
- The Advanced CustomVue™ LASIK procedure establishes a new standard for measurement and correction of unique imperfections in your individual vision.
- In FDA clinical studies, four times as many participants were very satisfied with their night vision after the VISX Advanced CustomVue™ LASIK procedure, compared to their night vision before with glasses or contact lenses.
- This precise level of measurement and correction can enable individuals to achieve the full potential of their vision - your Personal Best Vision™.
WaveScan™ LASIK Technology
- The Advanced CustomVue™ LASIK procedure uses WaveScan™ technology created by VISX, originally developed for use in high-powered telescopes to reduce distortions when viewing distant objects in space.
- WaveScan™ technology measures imperfections in an individual's eye 25 times more precisely than standard methods for glasses or contact lenses.
- The WaveScan WaveFront™ System produces a detailed map of your eye. Much like a fingerprint, no two eyes are exactly alike.
STAR S4 IR™ Excimer Laser
The STAR S4 IR™ Excimer Laser System is designed to bring Advanced CustomVue™ laser vision correction to life. Featuring VSS Refractive™ technology (Variable Spot Scanning) and VRR™ (Variable Repetition Rate) pulse-packing algorithm, both proprietary to AMO, the STAR S4 IR™ Excimer Laser reduces thermal effects on the cornea, allowing you to perform the Advanced CustomVue procedure quickly and effectively, while maximizing patient safety.
Using the STAR S4 IR™ Excimer Laser System, surgeons can deliver the broadest range of wavefront-guided laser vision correction treatments to patients. In fact, more than 94 percent of eligible candidates in the U.S., and more than 99.75 percent outside the U.S., may potentially benefit from the Advanced CustomVue™ procedure.
- The digital information is transferred to the STAR S4 IR™ Excimer Laser system which performs the Advanced CustomVue™ LASIK procedure.
- Your Advanced CustomVue™ LASIK procedure is designed to correct the unique imperfections of your vision.
- Accurate alignment is essential to optimizing customized Wavefront-guided LASIK ablations
- Delivers benefits of Iris Registration (IR).
- Conserves tissue by optimizing treatment times and minimizing thermal effects on the cornea.
- Minimizes additional time for wavefront-guided custom treatment over conventional treatment.
- Eliminates the need for dilation; laser tracks on the natural pupil.
- Maximizes practice efficiency and workflow through ease of use and ergonomics.
- Adjusts for intra-patient (XYZ) movement with ActiveTrak™ to further improve treatment accuracy.
VISX Iris Registration
VISX Technology™ Iris Registration (IR) is the first FDA-approved, fully automated method of aligning and registering wavefront corrections for the Advanced CustomVue™ treatment.
It's normal for the pupil to shift from the time an eye is measured to the time of treatment. Iris Registration is an alignment method that provides greater accuracy and, unlike commonly used ink-based methods in which the eye is literally marked with a pen, IR is not time sensitive, leaving Dr. Holladay free to take his time without having to be concerned with re-registering the treatment should the ink markings dissolve.
An obvious advancement over standard alignment practices, IR achieves cyclotorsional alignment by automatically linking a patient's diagnostic information with the laser treatment. IR then centers the treatment correctly, independent of changes in the pupil center from measurement to treatment.
All of this translates to more peace of mind for you, the patient, as you can rest assured that any movement of your eye during the procedure will not jeopardize either the accuracy of the treatment or your safety.
