The VISX STAR™ platform's heritage of dependability and performance is
well known. The STAR S3 from VISX has taken that reputation to an even
higher level. Our latest excimer laser system has a faster chair,
automatic alignment for both eyes, horizontal alignment capability,
multiple treatments and offline programming, and the following exciting
features:
- Variable Spot Beam Technology:
Variable-shaped beams ranging in size from 0.65 to 6.5 millimeters are
scanned* and offset to allow personalized refractive treatments.
Exclusive SmartBeam™ technology adjusts beam size according to
treatment, minimizing corneal tissue removal.
*The VISX® laser utilizes the VSS
technology in creating a blend zone in myopic patients receiving 1.0
diopter of vision correction.
- ActiveTrak™ 3-D Active Eye Tracking:
The only laser system that can capture all three dimensions of
intra-operative eye movements without the requirement of pupillary
dilation.
- Larger Ablation Zones: VSS™
(Variable Spot Scanning) technology adds a blend zone that increases
the ablation zone by 51%, increasing the overall diameter of the
ablation to 8 millimeters.
The WaveScan Wavefront System:
This Wavefront refractive technology provides a WavePrint™ Map--a unique
fingerprint of the patient's vision. Giving the doctor a precise, more
detailed visual analysis that can help provide a personalized Laser Vision
Correction treatment.
