About
Our Laser The laser used for LASIK can make a difference in your
result. The doctors of the Key-Whitman Eye Center have chosen the Bausch
and Lomb™ Technolas flying spot laser because they feel that it gives
results far superior to any other laser. It is the only FDA approved
laser specifically designed for LASIK and the Key-Whitman Eye Center is
the only center in North Texas equipped with this technology.
A true scanning/flying spot laser – the Technolas effectively corrects
the refractive error by utilizing its small beam profile to flatten the
cornea centrally, and then polishes the periphery to produce an extremely
smooth cornea. In addition, the Bausch & Lomb laser provides the latest
in safety features including the Active Eye Tracking System that follows
the eye even if the patient moves.
IntraLase® Laser
IntraLase® has been found to be an integral part of laser vision
correction surgery with optimal outcomes. In the past, the step of creating
a flap in the cornea has been done with a surgical blade. By using the
IntraLase® laser, the surgeon can achieve a higher level of accuracy
resulting in more precise and predictable procedures.
The IntraLase®
laser dramatically reduces the risk of complications. In fact, this newly
raised level of precision is what has opened the doors to patients who
were not previously candidates for laser vision correction.
Wavefront Technology Laser
The Wavefront Technology laser provides the latest in customized care.
The innovative "flying spot" technology provides a smoother
treatment resulting in less glare and haloing and more accurate surgery.
Wavefront mapping technology used in combination with the Bausch
and Lomb Zyoptix system provides your surgeon with information about
your eyes that will be used to plan your completely individualized laser
vision correction procedure. Even eye imperfections that could not be
treated with conventional LASIK techniques are now being corrected with
this personalized system.
In addition, the Wavefront Technology laser provides the latest in safety
features including the Active Eye Tracking System, which follows the eye
even if the patient moves. During the FDA approval trials, the outcomes
for the Wavefront Technology laser far exceeded all other laser in terms
of achieving 20/20 visual acuity with the lowest percentage of side effects
such as glare and halos.
