Here at the Marsden Eye Laser Clinic we use
one of the worlds most technologically advanced
excimer lasers, the Bausch and Lomb
Technolas z100. The features of this laser include:
1
World's first Iris
Recognition Technology with
Multi-Dimensional Eye Tracker
which means treatment can be safer
and more accurate for patients.
2
An inbuilt tracking system that
follows the eye
during surgery so patient error
is minimised. It
is designed to automatically shut
down if the eye
moves away from the target.
3
New 100 Hertz of 1mm and 2mm
flying spot helps reduce treatment
times by 50% and provide better
control and predictability during
surgery.
4
Zyoptix or customised/personalise correction is done via
a 4th generation custom scanning
laser. This advanced technology
manufactured by Bausch & Lomb
in Germany can treat moderate
and high myopic patients, as well
as people suffering irregular
astigmatism. Customised laser
vision correction is the most
advanced laser technology to date,
which allows us to take a "blue
print" of the front of the
eye. This information is then
downloaded to the laser allowing
each procedure to be tailor made
specifically to each individual
eye. The laser is designed to
allow the surgeon more control
and flexibility making surgical
results more predictable and accurate
resulting in optimal quality of
vision.
The Micro-Keratome
Is a cutting instrument with a suction ring attachment
and a microkeratome blade which moves across the cornea,
stopping at a preset point far enough from the edge of
the cornea to create a hinged flap of paper-thin corneal
tissue. The microkeratome and the suction ring re removed
from the eye and the flap is lifted and folded back. The
micro-keratome used at Marsden Eye Laser Clinic is the
Bausch & Lomb Hansatome. The Hansatome is engineered
for high volume surgical efficiencies and reliability.
"The Hansatome is easy to use, reliable and has significantly
increased the safety of our LASIK procedures". Richard
Lindstrom MD
The Orbscan
This is a diagnostic instrument by Bausch
& Lomb, which is used to measure the cornea
using precise computerized topographical maps.
These maps help your surgeon determine if
LASIK is right for you. The information of
these maps determines the cornea thickness,
curvature and general pattern to detect any
irregularities. It is designed to provide
anatomical data, that when considered with
wave front performance data will enable your
surgeon to calculate an optimal corrective
solution. In this way, it will assure that
your pre-operative plan is optimized.
