LASIK MD Laser Eye SurgeryBausch & Lomb Zyoptix LASIK Vision Correction

STANDARD LASER TREATMENT vs. ZYOPTIX LASER TREATMENT

If you have a higher prescription, thin corneas and larger than the average pupils, then the Zyoptix technology may be the one best suited for your eyes and needs.

Other people do have a choice and are often given a recommendation for Standard or Zyoptix. For standard LASIK and PRK patients, you are also eligible for this latest technology for laser vision correction.

Rest assured that whatever you choose, you have the experience and expertise of your surgeon to ensure the best
possible vision results. You can also feel comfortable in knowing that thousands of patients have successfully
undergone the procedure before you and are delighted with their new found vision.

THE ZYOPTIX ADVANTAGE

Latest state-of-the-art technology

  • The Z100 laser from Bausch & Lomb is the latest technology available in the world. This laser is manufactured with precise German engineering.
  • Bausch & Lomb is the world leader in laser vision correction technology.
  • It is the upgraded version of Custom Wavefront LASIK with greater accuracy, and with the benefit of a proven track record.
  • Canada has exclusive use of this new laser technology and LASIK MD has it.

Increased Accuracy and Safety for Better Results

  • The laser adds 1mm spot sizes to have a mix of both 1mm and 2mm pulses (standard is 2mm).
  • The laser pulses are twice as fast, leading to shorter laser treatment time, which means increased accuracy and predictability.
  • The laser removes 20%-30% less corneal tissue. The less cornea removed, the healthier it is for the eye.
  • This laser is particularly beneficial for patients with thinner than average corneas, larger pupils and higher prescriptions.
  • The laser has a three dimensional eye tracker for improved accuracy and safety.
  • The laser allows for the most accurate and the safest laser eye correction today.

Improved Quality of Day and Night Vision

  • The laser is capable of larger treatment zone sizes for people with larger pupils and is better for night time vision quality. It also minimizes the risk of night time glare and haloes.
  • The laser results in a corneal shape that is closer to the normal curvature of a healthy eye, providing better quality for both day and night vision.
