Contoura® Vision: The standard in LASIK outcomes
- Advanced suction technology
- The fastest refractive platform in the U.S., combining a 500Hz excimer laser and a 200 kHz femtosecond laser
- Unrivaled 500 Hz excimer laser ablation times at approximately 1.4 seconds per diopter* resulting in excellent outcomes
- A 1050 Hz-type Eye Tracker, synchronized at 500 Hz, with 2 millisecond latency time
- A precise 200 kHz Femtosecond Laser custom flap creation in approximately 6 seconds*
- A minimization of increased intraocular pressure time
- Potentially less stress for the patient
- An integrated network that provides seamless data transfer of patient information within the WaveLight® Refractive Suite and WaveLight® Diagnostics
- Customized, patient-specific treatments
- WaveLight® EX500 helps reduce the potential for:
- Stromal dehydration
- Flap shrinkage
- Sensitivity to eye movements
- Patient fixation fatigueBuilt-in, non-contact, online pachymetry
- Consistent refractive outcomes
- The 0.95-mm Gaussian spot profile assures precision in corneal sculpting
- Unlike a top-hat beam shape, the Gaussian beam profile allows a more uniform spot overlap and customized corneal sculpting
- Eye tracking is an integral feature that helps assure that each laser pulse is placed where planned. A decentered treatment is one of the most serious complications of refractive surgery, resulting in:
- Halos
- Increased glare
- Monocular diplopia
- Reduced visual acuity
- An uninterrupted power supply (UPS) compensates for power disruptions and fluctuations for safe laser operation in all environmental conditions
- For a stable performance, the system is fully enclosed with less sensitivity to temperature and humidity, enabling efficient performance in a variety of surgical practices
- Gaussian beam profile provides a smooth ablation without grooves and ridges
