Alcon LenSx® Femtosekundenlaser (Alcon, Inc.)
- OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) ermöglicht präzise Steuerung und Kontrolle des refraktiven Eingriffs - Deutlich weniger Gewebeverluste als bei vergleichbaren Laser-Technologien (Reduktion um rund 60%) - Hohe Vorhersagbarkeit des Operationsergebnisses - Erster Femtosekundenlaser, der die offizielle Zulassung für den Einsatz in der Kataraktchirurgie erhalten hat
Femtosecond Laser iFS 150 (Fa. AMO Abbott Medical Optics, USA )
- The most modern femtosecond laser for eye laser treatments on the market.
- The mechanical microkeratome is replaced by the laser; during LASIK eye laser treatment,
no blade will touch a patient's eyes again.
- Safe and accurate eye laser surgery with even less complications during and after a LASIK
eye laser treatment.
- Painless eye laser treatment with no risk of damaging the upper corneal layer.
VISX® STAR S4 IR Excimer Laser (AMO Abbott Medical Optics, USA)
The excellent Excimer laser from the US offers advantages especially accompanied by
the wavefront guided laser treatment with LASIK:
- Variable laser spot (VSSTm): Tissue and time saving abrasion, thanks to the
variable diameter of the laser beam (0.65 mm - 6 mm).
- Variable laser frequency (VRRTm): Time saving, due to the laser frequency adaption
to the spot size.
- Active 3D eye tracking system: Automatic centering of the treatment zone on the
centre of the pupil, due to iris recognition, and thereby compensating movements
and cyclotorsion (rolling of the eye ball).
- Even more reduced rate of subsequent treatment after the eye laser surgery
with LASIK, due to the most modern wavefront technology.
Technolas® 217Z/100 Excimer Laser (Technolas Perfect Vision, Germany)
- The Technolas 217Z/100 excimer laser was constructed for the laser treatments in a way
that the LASIK surgeries could be carried out optimally and efficiently for patients as well
as for surgeons: The patient can easily be reached during the LASIK procedure.
- The newest generation of the Flying Spot laser: Ensuring the high accuracy of the LASIK
eye laser treatment with gentle corneal ablation.
- Fastest eye tracker system: Ensures that the position of the eye is permanently controlled,
and that the laser pulse is controllable accordingly.
Schwind® Amaris Excimer Laser
- Newest excimer laser with high pulse rate (500 Hz) for LASIK eye laser treatments.
- Guarantees a highly accurate and tissue gentle laser treatment.
- The integrated 1,050 Hz eye tracker enables an extremely precise positioning of each laser
impulse of less than 3 milliseconds during a LASIK laser treatment.
Wavescan® Aberrometer (AMO Abbott Medical Optics, USA)
- Wavefront measurements of the entire eye for laser treatments, low (short-, and longsightedness,
along with astigmatism) as well as high aberrations (distortion aberrations).
- Developing a "fingerprint" of the optical system by calculating the wavefront for each point of
measurement, based on the Fourier Analysis.
- Calculating the optimal ablation with the wavescan software for the wavefront guided LASIK eye
laser treatment.
Orbscan® II Videokeratoscope (Technolas Perfect Vision, Germany)
- Graphic illustration of the anterior and posterior corneal surface.
- Determination of the corneal thickness.
- More than 1,000 surface points is measured in less than 6 seconds.
Zyoptix® 100 Aberrometer (Technolas Perfect Vision, Germany)
- Wavefront meter, enabling the wavefront guided LASIK eye laser treatment.
- The Zyoptix 100 system can recognise and measure the individual refractive power.
- More than 1,000 points are recognised and a three-dimensional image is created.
- Especially patients with night vision problems or with reduced contrast sensitivity profit from this.
The Newest Microkeratome: Hansatom® XP (Technolas Perfect Vision)
- More precise flap thickness (120, 140, or 160 ¬μm).
- Both nasal and upwards flap hinge is possible. In case of a dry eye, a LASIK nasal hinge is more
advantageous.
- Constantly thin flaps (tissue gentle, saves corneal tissue).
- Right/left switch: rapid switching when moving from one eye to the other.
- Smoother cut surface - Better for deep-set eyes and narrow lid fissure.
Procyon® Pupillometer (Procyon Instruments, Great Britain)
- The Procyon Pupillometer measures the pupil size in a dusk situation, in the dark, and in the daylight.
- It supports the planning of a LASIK surgery: The ablation zone of the laser should consider the pupil size.
- Helps prevent postoperative problems, such as halos, etc.
Pentacam® Scheimpflug Camera (Oculus Optical Instruments, Germany)
- The Pentacam measures the front of the eye with a rotating Scheimpflug camera.
- The non-contact measurement lasts a couple of seconds and captures the different levels of the eye in 50 images.
- Depth measurement of the anterior chamber of the eye. Determines the corneal thickness and topography;
Also sectional images through the cornea is presentable.
- Additionally, thickness and transparency of the lens can be determined.
