Lasers: Dr. Lee uses VISX and Nidek lasers. The VISX S4 IR excimer laser is a wavefront capable laser (Customvue) with Wavescan and pupil-tracking. Dr. Lee owns SEVEN excimer lasers. Very few doctors personally own more than one excimer laser. Often physicians have a laser on consignment. Dr. Lee is proud of the fact that he has never used the ladarvision laser on a single patient. If you google "ladarvision recall", you will understand why the decision not to use that system was extremely insightful.
Visx STAR S4 IR Excimer Laser System: Includes technologies such as Active Track 3-D eye tracking, automatic centering, Variable Spot Scanning (VSS) and Variable Repetition Rate (VRR). Customvue with Wavescan Fourier was approved in 2004 and in 2005 CustomVue reaches the broadest ranges for Custom Laser Vision Correction Approval in the United States.
Nidek EC-5000 excimer laser system: Scanning technology: The laser incorporates patented scanning slit laser energy. This scanning light energy can ablate the cornea 360 degrees smoothly. Its linear-shaped laser beam sweeps the corneal surface in six directions each cycle, homogenizing the excimer-generated light energy. This sweeping of the beam in various directions disperses peaks and valleys that are present in all excimer laser beams.
Operating microscope slit beam: The Nidek slit beam illuminators, immediately assess patient alignment in a 3-axis orientation, including the z-axis. Only laser that currenty allows qualitative assessment of z-axis orientation.
Wavefront Systems: Both the Nidek OPD Wavefront Analyzer and the Visx Wavescan Wavefront Systems are used. The Wavescan system sets the industry standard for outstanding wavefront acquisition and diagnostic utility. It captures the patient's wavefront data through the use of precise Hartmann-Shack aberrometry.
Microkeratome System: Moria CB and LSK systems. Four systems available in the office. This microkeratome system provides superior hinges (flap direction). Thin flap lasik (110 micron head). Also available 130 microkeratome head. This Lasik microkeratome system offers FIVE flap sizes, which provide added flexibility an important factor for smaller eyes.
-Lasik Eye Center also has several BACK-UP Pachymeters (DGH).
-Lasik Eye Center also has several BACK-UP Sterilizers (Statim 2000).
