Our Lasers:

The WaveFront WavePrint System

No two eyes are the same. Like your DNA or fingerprint, your vision is unique.

Until now, your treatment was based on diagnostic technology similar to that used for the prescription of eye glasses or contact lenses. However, with Eye1st Vision & Laser's addition of the WavePrint™ System by VISX, we can produce a precise and more detailed analysis of your vision and provide you with a more personalized approach to laser vision correction.With the diagnostic and treatment technologies of the WavePrint System, we can develop a personalized laser vision correction plan that addresses your individual needs.

There are two parts to the Eye1st Vision & Laser VISX WavePrint System. First, it includes a diagnostic device that maps the entire optical path of your eye. This WavePrint™ Map, called the "fingerprint of your vision," provides the doctor with precise and detailed information about your vision.

Secondly, the WavePrint System incorporates the STAR S4™ laser from VISX with two exclusive features: Variable Spot Scanning* and 3D ActiveTrak™ technology. Variable Spot Scanning (VSS™) allows for a larger treatment area and offers the physician greater flexibility in developing a more personalized laser vision procedure, when pupil size may be a consideration.
3D ActiveTrak automatically and instantaneously tracks the minute movements of your eye in all three dimensions during the laser treatment. This unique feature means you no longer have to hold your eye perfectly still, but can relax, knowing your treatment is precisely centered on your eye. The doctor uses these exclusive technologies along with the WavePrint Map to provide laser vision correction care based on your personal vision needs.

*The VISX® laser utilizes the VSS™ technology in creating a blend zone in myopic patients receiving > -1.0 diopters of vision correction. 

The VISX Star S4

The excimer laser used by your eye doctor can affect your satisfaction with LASIK. That's why Eye1st Vision & Laser chooses to use VISX Star S4 technology.

VISX invented the technology for laser vision correction more than 15 years ago. Today, VISX is the choice of more doctors for their patients. In fact, thousands of eye doctors and their staffs have chosen the VISX technology advantage for their own LASIK procedures.

The FDA has approved the VISX laser for the treatment of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism for eligible patients. Millions of patients worldwide have undergone successful laser vision correction procedures, and over one million VISX laser procedures have been performed in the US since our first FDA approval in 1996.

The VISX Advantage:

VISX pioneered the development of excimer laser systems and remains the industry leader in quality and innovation. VISX laser systems have features that translate into several advantages for you:

• VISX laser systems produce the smoothest surface on the cornea after the procedure. Smoother ablations, as they're known, promote faster healing and result in better vision.
• VISX laser systems achieve an optical zone that may result in reduced problems with night vision.
• VISX laser systems require a shorter procedure time, which may reduce the risk of postoperative complications.

 Reasons why the VISX laser system is superior to others:

• History of excellence in design
• Rigorous FDA approvals
• Clinical experience and knowledge
• Extensive use by eye doctors
• Exclusive focus on this technology
