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
