LASIK Technology
What type of equipment do you use for LASIK?
Price Vision Group has invested in the most advanced FDA-approved LASIK technology to ensure the safest, most precise laser vision correction procedures to provide excellent visual outcomes. The LASIK surgeons at Price Vision Group perform their laser eye procedures with the WaveLight® Refractive Suite that includes the WaveLight® FS200 Femtosecond Laser (currently the fastest flap creation laser platform in the U.S.1,2) in combination with the WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser (one of the fastest excimer laser platforms in the world). At the moment, the WaveLight® Refractive Suite boasts the fastest total refractive procedure in the U.S.1
WaveLight® FS200 Femtosecond Laser
The combination of an optimized repetition rate at 200 kHz, a special scanning algorithm, and customizable energy and spacing parameters make the WaveLight® FS200 Femtosecond Laser the fastest flap creation laser platform in the U.S.1,2
The system’s unique treatment speed — approximately 6.0 seconds for a standard flap — results in*:
- A minimization of increased inter-ocular pressure time
- Potentially less stress for the patient
- Optimized clinic workflow
PerfectPulse Technology® combines a variety of technical innovations, such as advanced line scanning, smart calibration, beam control and a unique patient interface design, to facilitate precise treatments.
Further enhancing precision, every single applanation cone is individually calibrated prior to the treatment through the automated Beam Control Check.
WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser
The WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser is the only excimer laser to operate at 500 Hz, with an average treatment time of approximately 1.4 seconds per diopter.
With a powerful 1050 Hz-type multi-dimensional eye tracker, synchronized at 500 Hz, the WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser offers safety and exceptional precision:
- Movement tracking with just 2 milliseconds of latency
- Dynamic pupil tracking from 1.5 mm to 8.0 mm
