The laser beam itself is another important technical aspect of laser eye surgery. Older lasers have what is called a broad beam, up to 10 mm in width. Large scanning spot lasers are good; but do not create as smooth a surface and need to cut more deeply into the cornea. More recently small spot scanning laser beams have been introduced. The small spot beam on the LADARVision® laser is only 0.8mm wide. A fine spot laser beam reshapes the cornea in very small and subtle increments. The cornea is reshaped gradually resulting in the corrected area having a smoother surface. Dr Wolfe has now performed many LASIK and ASLA procedures with the LADARVision® excimer laser and believes it is the platform best suited to take us into the future. LADARVision® |
