Such a question from one of you has prompted us to prepare a somewhat technical text for you, dear patients, but we want you to have a full understanding of what your eyes are being repaired with 🙂
Ready? Here we go!
Laser
You can increase your safety right from the start, when deciding on the method of treatment.
iLASIK - is the safest and only procedure recommended by NASA and the US military using a laser system consisting of the VISX STAR 4S IR excimer laser together with the 5th generation iFS femtosecond laser. This completely bladeless method is second to none and achieves a level of safety not previously available.
By using two lasers, the risk of intraoperative complications has been virtually eliminated. These lasers have a number of safety features, ranging from an eye tracking system (Eye Tracker), through iris registration technology (Iris Registration), to changing the laser frequency and diameter of its beam. Also noteworthy is the fact that some 60 million treatments have already been carried out worldwide laser vision correction, z czego dużą większość stanowią procedury z wykorzystaniem laserów VISX (obecnie należące do Johnson&Johnson Vision ).
Specialist
Equally important is the choice of surgeon, whose experience and skills allow us to significantly increase our safety. In addition to performing the surgery itself, it is the doctor who takes all the measurements during the qualifying examinations, which are then sent to the laser. Based on these, the laser, programmed to the patient's individual eye parameters, corrects the curvature of the cornea and restores vision. The surgeon also takes care of the healing of our eyes by appropriately selecting medication therapy after the procedure.
In addition, following any instructions received after qualification regarding preparation for and management of the procedure will help the eyes to heal quickly and enjoy a new quality of vision.
As can be seen, safety is made up of many elements, the attention to which is extremely important in order to ensure that the results of the procedure are what the patient expects, i.e. the best possible.
