What kind of laser do the surgeons use?
The laser used for your vision correction procedure can make a lot of difference in how satisfied you are with the results. We use the VISX Star S3 ActiveTrak® Excimer Laser system, which follows your eye in three dimensions; this allows more safety and predictability to the performance of the laser procedure. It also uses seven variable-sized beams to give the fastest, smoothest treatment possible. VISX® invented the technology for laser vision correction over 15 years ago, and more than three million laser vision correction procedures have been performed in the United States with their technology, making the VISX® laser the most popular excimer laser in the country. The VISX® laser has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatisms.
