As all competent surgeons know, achieving good results in LASIK treatment begins with comprehensive pre-operative diagnostics and planning.  Our renowned Orbscan II diagnostic system enables our dedicated surgeons to identify exclusionary criteria such as keratoconus, pre-keratoconus, corneal thinning and more.  With a thorough analysis of the eye’s optical system, you can now look forward to the potential for maximum correction without infringing on limits of safety.

The use of Iris Recognition in LASIK treatment began with Bausch & Lomb.  No two irises are identical, but surgeons who favor a unique identification for each patient can now transform each individual’s iris structures into a personalized digital file with the groundbreaking Iris Recognition technology.  Laser treatment can then proceed only after registration of the patient’s iris, so there is 100% certainty of the administration of the correct treatment.

One feature exclusive to the Zyoptix 100 is the Multi-Dimensional Eye tracker, which tracks and detects all the minute and involuntary eye movements the eye makes during LASIK surgery.  When eye movements exceed a speed too fast for the laser to track, the Multi-Dimensional Eyetracker will prevent the laser from firing.  The personalized digital file that uniquely identifies each iris also works with the Multi-Dimensional Eyetracker to compensate for off-axis eye rotations the eye makes, to ensure safety and precision during the LASIK surgery.

Zyoptix Aspheric Lasik retains the same method of flap creation as in conventional Lasik but differs from it with respect to its reshaping of the cornea surface.  To correct refractive errors, conventional Lasik adjusts the curve of the cornea, flattening it and destroying its natural ‘aspheric’ curve. This infrequently results in complaints of glare, halos, and impaired night vision.  What is unique about Zyoptix Aspheric Lasik is that it attempts to preserve the natural ‘aspheric’ curve, leading to a decreased likelihood of experiencing the night vision problems typically associated with standard Lasik.  As the aspheric curvature mimics that of birds of prey, Zyoptix Aspheric Lasik is also often touted as “eagle vision” Lasik.

About one in six Lasik patients are rejected from conventional Lasik because of thin corneas, high refractive errors or combination thereof. The Bausch & Lomb Tissue Saving Treatment mode was designed to enable less cornea tissue to be removed for any given dioptre of refractive correction without sacrificing quality of vision. Better safety, wider indications and excellent clinical results have made this the defacto standard against which other treatment modes are compared.
