At Texan Eye in Austin, Texas, we are committed to providing our patients with the most advanced LASIK technology available. Our experienced eye surgeons utilize state-of-the-art equipment, including the iFS IntraLase laser and the VISX Star 4 with iDesign, to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
What Advanced Technology is Used During LASIK at Texan Eye?
The two critical components of our advanced LASIK technology are the iFS IntraLase laser and the VISX Star 4 with iDesign.
iFS IntraLase
The iFS IntraLase is a femtosecond laser used to create the corneal flap during the first step of the LASIK procedure. This advanced laser technology offers several advantages over the traditional microkeratome blade method.
Increased Precision: The iFS IntraLase allows our LASIK surgeons to create a corneal flap of precise size, shape, and depth, leading to more accurate results.
Enhanced Safety: By using an all-laser approach, the risk of complications associated with the microkeratome blade is eliminated.
Faster Recovery: Patients who undergo LASIK with the iFS IntraLase often experience a faster visual recovery compared to those treated with the microkeratome blade.
The VISX Star 4 with iDesign
The VISX Star 4 excimer laser, coupled with the iDesign Wavefront system, is used to reshape the cornea during the second step of the LASIK procedure. This advanced technology offers several benefits.
Customized Treatment: The iDesign Wavefront system creates a detailed map of the patient’s unique visual imperfections, allowing LASIK surgeons to tailor the laser treatment to the individual eye.
Improved Visual Outcomes: By targeting both lower and higher order aberrations, the VISX Star 4 with iDesign can provide patients with sharper vision, better night vision, and fewer instances of post-operative glare and halos.
Enhanced Tracking: The VISX 3D tracking system monitors eye movements during the procedure, ensuring that the laser remains precisely centered over the treatment area, even if the eye moves slightly.
