LADARVision® uses state-of-the-art technology that
is uniquely different from other laser vision correction systems
available today. The LADARVision® system incorporates the
use of the LADARTracker™, a high-speed computerized eye
tracking method that helps the doctor enhance your treatment.
The LADARTracker™ had its genesis in technology research
done by the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA).
Today, it's incorporated into our new-generation excimer laser
to provide superior precision, and less worry, for patients desiring
laser correction of nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism.
Your eyes are continually making
very fine jumping movements - called "saccadic" movements
- and they are beyond your control, no matter how hard you concentrate.
They occur during all laser vision correction treatments. Our
LADARVision® system, however, assists the doctor by scanning
the eye an amazing 4,000 times per second. Then, using computer
control, it makes micro-adjustments at speeds of 100 times per
second to reposition the pinpoint laser beam between pulses of
light, tracking even the smallest and quickest movements of your
eye during treatment.
In addition, our LADARVision®
system uses an ultra-small beam of cool laser light - one that's
less than a millimeter wide, a spot much smaller than the thickness
of a single human hair. Using high-speed computer control, the
LADARVision® system moves this tiny beam of light across
the surface of the cornea very rapidly in a tiny, non-sequential
and overlapping pattern. This helps create a smoother surface
on your eye after your treatment, which has been attributed to
quick visual recovery.
Finally, because of its state-of-the
art active tracking system and its unmatched precision, our LADARVision®
system means that LASIK laser vision correction is even easier
for our patients. Now, you can relax and not worry about holding
your eye perfectly still during your treatment.
We use this technology for
our patients, in order to provide you precision and safety in
LASIK laser vision correction. Having the best possible technology,
to go along with the skill and experience of our doctors and
staff, is part of our commitment to your care.
