the LADARVision® System

The importance of laser technology in correcting vision problems can't be underestimated. Different laser systems with different capabilities are available, and which laser technology you choose for your eye surgery can impact the accuracy with which your cornea is reshaped - and the results you can expect from the procedure. Not every laser can treat every type of vision problem, and your doctor can discuss with you the options available for your existing vision problems.

Customized Laser Eye Treatment

LASIK, the most common form of laser vision correction surgery, uses an excimer laser to reshape the cornea for better vision. When you are looking for a LASIK surgeon in your area, it's important that you consider both the doctor's experience and which laser vision correction system he or she will use for your procedure.

When you compare laser technology systems, you'll see the benefits of the LADARVision® System, which lets your doctor personalize your laser vision treatment to match each of your eye's individual optical characteristics.

The LADARVision® System, manufactured by Alcon, is proven to deliver customized LASIK results, which traditional LASIK can't match.

The system is comprised of three components:

• The LADARWave® wavefront device lets your doctor create a three-dimensional map of your unique visual distortions.
• Powered by technology designed for NASA, the LADARVision® System eye tracking device ensures accurate placement of the small-spot laser beam.
• The LADARVision® excimer laser precisely removes targeted tissue and reshapes your cornea.

Together, these devices bring you the CustomCornea® difference. The goal of the CustomCornea® LASIK process is to give you better visual quality than traditional laser vision treatment, eyeglasses, or contact lenses by improving your vision and your lifestyle.
