Alcon LADARVision - CustomCornea

Many people who have thought about undergoing LASIK may have worried about what might happen if their eye moves. Your eye is constantly moving and changing in response to environmental factors, such as light and external movement. Many of the movements of your eye are completely involuntary. Worrying about the movement of your eye should never be a concern when thinking about LASIK. For those who are concerned, technology such as the LADARVision CustomCornea system by Alcon should set you at ease.

The LADARVision CustomCornea excimer laser system is so fast that it can track the movement of your eye down to a millisecond. Treating higher order aberrations as well as mixed astigmatism, and wide ranges of myopia and hyperopia are possible with LADARVision CustomCornea.

The technology behind the LADARVision procedure includes:

LADARWave WaveFront device – A map of your eyes is created using customized wavefront-guided technology. This allows your eye surgeon to have a personalized vision plan for you prior to eye surgery. This is as unique as your own fingerprint.
Eye tracking device – The eye tracking device, mentioned above, leaves no margin for error simply because it knows exactly where your cornea is during the entire procedure. NASA researched and developed this technology. Because of this, the beam will be in the right spot the entire time, and will sculpt your cornea with extreme accuracy.

As with other laser vision correction procedures, there is little if any pain and it is over in minutes.
