Excimer Lasers and Multifocal Corneal Ablations Alarcón et al evaluated different theoretical models of a multifocal cornea for the correction of presbyopia by laser ablation using ray tracings. Because the pupil’s size decreases with accommodation, the investigators preferred the central model to obtain optimal multifocality with the achievement of a 2.4-mm central zone diameter to…

LASIK Industry Pioneer Visits Laser Locators
The management team at Laser Locators was honored yesterday with a visit from Dr. Jim Wynne, an industry pioneer who has received the National Medal of Technology and Innovation for his role in inventing the underlying technology used in LASIK surgery. This was Dr. Wynne’s second visit to Laser Locators. He had heard about the…
The next LASIK Flap
Horizontally oval flaps match the shape of the most common ablation pattern for astigmatic correction. And while the conventional round flap works well, oval flaps represent an opportunity to improve the LASIK procedure. They better conform to the natural anatomical shape of the cornea and allow for better alignment of the flap. The horizontally oval…
The Basics of Lasik
LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and simply put is a procedure using an excimer laser that permanently changes the shape of the eye. A small flap is cut into the cornea and folded over to allow access to the part of the eye called the stroma, where the laser is used to reshape…
LASIK is more than just seeing better- it’s choosing better as well
Refractive surgical procedures have increased significantly in the past few years. The most recent surveys from the American Academy of Ophthalmology report that there were approximately 800,000 refractive surgical procedures performed in 2010, up more than 50,000 from 2009. As refractive and laser vision correction procedures continue to rise, choosing with the proper doctor is…
Accelerated Corneal Crosslinking Procedure Receives CE Approval
A procedure designed to strengthen the cornea after LASIK called LASIK Xtra, has received CE approval for marketing in Europe and was just approved in Canada as well. Marketed by Avedro, Inc., Lasik Xtra is an accelerated corneal crosslinking procedure that applies Avedro’s VibeX riboflavin ophthalmic solution to the cornea, and then uses it’s KXL System to irradiate the…
