New Eye Surgery System Approved For Treatment

Bandar Seri Begawan - People who may be candidates for laser eye surgery will now be able to enjoy the benefits of the latest developments in LASIK technology, which has culminated in the first-of-its-kind, wavefront-guided LADARVision® excimer laser system.

Optimax Malaysia, always on the forefront of developments in ophthalmological technology, has acquired this new system, recently approved by the US Food & Drug Administration, for its programmes in treating near-sightedness. With this system, made up of the LADARVision® 4000 excimer laser system and the new LADARWaveTM diagnostic device, surgeons can measure and treat visual disorders that previously could not even be detected, for the first time.

Several types of imperfections, referred to as lower- and higher-order aberrations, can exist within the eye and affect both a person's visual acuity and the quality of vision. To date, only lower-order aberrations, which include nearsightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism, could be measured and treated through conventional methods.

But now, with Optimax's utilisation of the newest eye surgery system to hit the market, LADARWave TM, each patient's unique pattern of lower- and higher-order visual errors can be treated with a highly-customised approach called CLISTOMCORN EA ® to improve both visual acuity, which is measured against standard numerical outcomes such as 20/20, and the overall quality of vision, such as increased visual crispness and clarity. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
