The Technolas 217z Laser which is an integral part of this system was found to be the most accurate in personalization for individual patients unlike other Lasik Laser System. Higher order aberrations, i.e., irregularities of the eye can be diagnosed with the aberrometer and the treatment will then be calculated using advanced software.
Our Hospital has this system installed whose components are detailed as under:
This equipment has a Ceramic Cavity which provides adequate and accurate the energy levels (fluence) are checked before each treatment. The Technolas 217 C Lasik uses plano scan technology with the advanced software to maximize predictability and ensures optimum correction.
This Laser had advanced active infrared eye tracking to ensure good centration of laser beam. The tracking system targets the eyes at
The Aberrometer selects the refractive power of the eyes at more than 50 sites. The measurements taken in this way are designed to procedure customized individual results comparable to a custom suit made by a tailor.
This piece of technology will provide refraction measurement including both lower and higher order aberrations. In essence, the aberrometer measures every variation of the entire optics of your eye from the cornea, to the retina.
Aberrometer is a high-precision ophthalmic diagnostic device designed for researchers in eye health and vision science.
Topography Orbscan Pachymeter
A topography unit is a machine that takes a specialized photo of the cornea, the front transparent window of the eye. The resulting photo is a topographic map of the corneal surface, similar to satellite aerial color-coded maps of mountains and valleys on the planet earth.
This is a multidimensional diagnostic system that measures elevation and curvature on both the anterior and posterior surfaces of the Cornea. It captures full cornea pachymetry thickness and generates reproducible diagnostic maps essential for personal vision correction.
This map shows the bumps and valleys on the corneal surface and is used to ensure the cornea is regular and can be treated with the laser.
Topography & Pachymeter to measure the curvature & thickness of Cornea
Hansatome (Micro Keratome)
The most advanced and proven, fully automated microkeratome which allows the surgeon to create a very thin and uniform flap of corneal tissue. This flap is then raised to expose the inner layers of the cornea to Laser treatment.
ZYOPTIX – A Customised Vision Solution
Bausch & Lomb Zyoptix is a thoroughly integrated system for personalized vision correction and consists of the Topography Orbscan Pachymeter which provides a three dimensional topographic map of the corneal surface and the Aberrometer which measures the aberrations (imperfections) present in the optical system of the untreated eye. It analyses the strong and weak spots of rear & front of cornea as well as irregularities.
These measurements are then entered into the Zylink programme to calculate the treatment file of each patient. This huge amount of vital information is transferred to Technolas 217z Laser. Technolas 217z then ablates and reshapes the cornea under the flap, to not only remove the refractive error (Long Sightedness / Astigmatism) but also eliminate the aberrations. The exact centration of the eye is achieved by using centring & tracing mechanisms.
ZYOPTIX LASER
- This is the latest treatment for corrections of Myopia, Hyperopia, and Astigmatism.
- Gives better vision, better results and is safer.
- Allows individualized treatment for every patient.
- Has the potential to allow more people to achieve 6/6 vision or better.
- Allows night driving without glasses or halos.
- The whole procedure requires only a few minutes. No bandage is applied. The patient need not be hospitalized.
ZYOPTIX laser corrects very small optical irregularities that are found throughout the entire eye.
