State of the art Laser Eye Surgery Technology

Vision Eye Institute uses a range of modern diagnostic and surgical equipment, allowing virtually all types of eye conditions to be assessed and treated.  We update our systems in line with the latest proven technological advances, including:

• IntraLase, the latest advance in refractive surgery, wherein a laser-controlled process is used to create the corneal flap that is the critical component of LASIK surgery. IntraLase provides a new level of safety and precision over conventional microkeratomes, which are mechanically-driven surgical steel blades that have been used to create the corneal incision.
• Rapid active eye-tracking, now regarded as an essential component of excimer laser systems. The eye-tracker monitors, and compensates for, a patient's eye movements during surgery.  It gives greater control to the surgeon and makes surgery safer than with a standard excimer system.  Vision Eye Institute is the first laser vision centre in Australia to have acquired active eye-tracking technology, and, to this day, the systems we used are widely acknowledged as the most advanced of their kind.
• Wavefront technology for providing a customised laser treatment. Having wavefront technology allows the small optical imperfections that are unique to each person's eyes to be measured, and then the laser can be programmed to compensate for these. For many people, this can result in an improved quality of vision.
• Phacoemulsification unit for cataract surgery.
  This surgical equipment is state of the art.
• Digital diagnostic instruments, such as the corneal topographer, specular microscope, computerised perimeter, and slit lamp imaging microscope.
• Other critical instruments such as the retinal camera for fluorescein angiography, the ocular ultrasonography unit, and the ocular coherence tomography unit.
