Your Vision
Sight is our
most precious sense. People who need their glasses to see the
alarm clock each morning know all too well the frustration of
total dependency on glasses and contact lenses. However, because
sight is precious, the decision to have laser vision correction
must be made only after careful consideration and education.
In the following pages, we will help you understand laser vision
correction, and what it can mean to you.
Our practice
is dedicated to providing our patients with the best available
refractive care, the best techniques, technology, facilities
and most importantly - the best doctors and staff. We constantly
measure our clinical results and services against the best practices
in the United States and abroad, and we are proud to be able
to provide you with the highest quality refractive surgery care.
The following text is designed to answer your initial questions
regarding LASIK Vision Correction.

LADARVision® Technology
 |
LADARVision®
uses state-of-the-art technology that is uniquely different from
other laser vision correction systems available today. The LADARVision®
system incorporates the use of the LADARTracker™, a high-speed
computerized eye tracking method that helps the doctor enhance
your treatment. The LADARTracker™ had its genesis in technology
research done by the National Aeronautic and Space Administration
(NASA). Today, it's incorporated into our new-generation excimer
laser to provide superior precision, and less worry, for patients
desiring laser correction of nearsightedness, farsightedness
or astigmatism. |
Your eyes are continually making very fine jumping movements
- called "saccadic" movements - and they are beyond
your control, no matter how hard you concentrate. They occur
during all laser vision correction treatments. Our LADARVision®
system, however, assists the doctor by scanning the eye an amazing
4,000 times per second. Then, using computer control, it makes
micro-adjustments at speeds of 100 times per second to reposition
the pinpoint laser beam between pulses of light, tracking even
the smallest and quickest movements of your eye during treatment.
In addition, our LADARVision®
system uses an ultra-small beam of cool laser light - one that's
less than a millimeter wide, a spot much smaller than the thickness
of a single human hair. Using high-speed computer control, the
LADARVision® system moves this tiny beam of light across
the surface of the cornea very rapidly in a tiny, non-sequential
and overlapping pattern. This helps create a smoother surface
on your eye after your treatment, which has been attributed to
quick visual recovery.
Finally, because of its state-of-the
art active tracking system and its unmatched precision, our LADARVision®
system means that LASIK laser eye surgey is even easier
for our patients. Now, you can relax and not worry about holding
your eye perfectly still during your treatment.
We use this technology for
our patients, in order to provide you precision and safety in
LASIK laser eye surgey. Having the best possible technology,
to go along with the skill and experience of our doctors and
staff, is part of our commitment to your care.
