Which Excimer Laser Does Dr. Salz use?
The VISX Star 4 Laser is used exclusively by Dr. Salz. This latest technology enables LASIK to be performed on a wider area of the cornea in less time than before. There are seven variable size beams allowing greater flexibility for smoother treatment so less corneal tissue needs to be removed and the cornea is precisely reshaped. It utilizes a three dimensional eye tracker, developed specifically for tracking the human eye, which follows the patient’s natural pupil, replacing previous eye trackers like those found on the LADAR tracking system which require pupillary dilation and work only in two dimensions. Eye position is verified six times before each laser pulse and the VISX Star 4 gives the fastest treatment time of any laser. The VISX Star 4 laser is the most widely used and the most clinically tested laser in the world. For more information, visit their website www.visx.com.
