Laser vision correction
works by gently reshaping the cornea
to the desired curvature. The surgeon
uses the cool beam of the laser to remove
a microscopic amount of tissue —
less than human hair in most cases —
to create the new curvature. Robbins
Eye Center uses the state-of-the-art
VISX Laser with the WavePrint System
to customize your laser vision correction.
Each solution is as individual as you
are. The three main elements are:
• The
WavePrint Map
• 3D ActiveTrak™
Eyetracker
• Variable
Spot Scanning* (VSS™)
|
Like your fingerprint, your WavePrint
Map is unique to you |
The WavePrint Map provides information
on more than just the corneal surface
of your eye. It reveals the way your
entire optical system processes light,
providing a level of diagnostic information
previously unavailable to the doctor.
Using this information, your doctor
can:
•  Accurately
assess whether you’re a good
candidate for laser vision correction.
The WavePrint Map is the gold standard
in vision measurement. Anyone who
is considering laser vision correction
should obtain a WavePrint Map as the
first step.
• Personalize your treatment
plan to your unique vision. The WavePrint
Map permits this kind of personalized
planning.

3D ActiveTrak™
|
3D
ActiveTrak lets you relax with
the knowledge that you’re
obtaining a correction precisely
centered on your eye |
3D ActiveTrak™ follows the tiny
motions of your eye instantaneously
and automatically in three dimensions,
repositioning the laser to ensure
accuracy. Without a tracking device,
laser vision correction requires patients
to hold their eyes as still as possible
during the procedure. However, even
a “still” eye makes minute,
involuntary movements — including
moving slightly with each breath.
You don’t have these worries
with 3D ActiveTrak.

VariableSpot Scanning™

Variable
Spot Scanning considers pupil
size |
VariableSpot Scanning* (VSS™)
is an exclusive VISX laser technology
that allows for a larger treatment
area. This offers the physician greater
flexibility in developing a more personalized
laser vision procedure when pupil
size may be a consideration.
