Eye tracking is important for accurate results since it is critical that the laser beam be applied to the exact spot required to shape the cornea correctly. One of the challenges any surgeon will face while performing LASIK laser vision correction is the slightest involuntary movement of the eye. The eyes are continually moving, approximately 100 times a second and it is difficult, if not impossible, to keep the eyes absolutely still. Alcon Surgical’s LADARVision 4000 excimer laser system tracks the eye at a rate of 4,000 times per second, tracking the fastest eye movements with a 4x safety margin and adjusting the placement of each laser pulse.
CUSTOMCORNEA® LADARVISION SYSTEM
CustomCornea was the first LASIK procedure FDA-approved to provide a fully customized treatment for your vision, addressing higher-order aberrations that had previously gone undetected. The LADARWave® wavefront device is used to create a wavefront map of each eye, capturing the unique combination of higher and lower-order aberrations present in your optical system.
The resulting Wavefront Map for each eye is then placed into the excimer laser system, and converted to a guide for the laser. The result is a Wavefront Customized LASIK treatment. At Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center, 98% of nearsighted patients who undergo WaveFront Customized IntraLASIK achieve 20/20 vision or better!
