 The
Excimer Laser is one of the greatest inventions in ophthalmology. The
Excimer Laser is the device that physically corrects your prescription
during surgery. Because laser vision correction is based on the
microscopic removal of corneal tissue at the molecular level it is
impossible to achieve this type of accuracy manually. No other device
has provided patients the opportunity to reduce or eliminate their
dependency on glasses and contacts. Although many people perceive laser
technology to be the same, there are vast differences between one laser
versus another. One question that should be raised prior to your surgery
is whether the laser being used is the newest in laser vision correction
technology. By having your eyes treated with the newest in laser vision
technology it increases your chances for a successful outcome.
Not all eyetrackers are created equally. Ensure that the
eyetracker has a sampling rate faster than 200 Hertz. The reason why this is so
important is because
your eye can twitch at a rate of 60 Hz. If your eye twitches faster or at the
same speed as the eyetracker then the eyetracker may not be able to get the
appropriate readings of the movement of the eye. In turn, the laser may not be
able to place the right pulse of the laser in the appropriate section of the
cornea because of the lack of information. What is also extremely important is
the ability of the laser to react to the information being sent to it from the
eyetracker. The response time of the laser must be very fast to ensure that each
laser pulse is placed exactly on the appropriate part of the cornea. Even if the
laser can sample the movement of the eye 1000 times but the laser reacts slowly
to this information, the result is that the laser may be placing pulses on areas
of the cornea based on old information.
The best example of the relationship between the eyetracker
and the laser is to try and imagine throwing a ball at a moving object that is
going 200 miles an hour. Although you can see the moving object, your reflexes
are too slow to adjust to the constant changes of the moving object. As a
result, every time you throw the ball you are missing the moving object. Slow or
older lasers work on the same principle. Although the eyetracker can see the eye
moving, it is too slow to react and may miss the targeted area of the cornea.
The ALLEGRETTO WAVE Excimer Laser encompasses both a 250 Hz
eyetracker with the ability to react between 4 to 8 ms. This optimizes the
ability of each pulse being placed on the appropriate spot on the cornea
reducing erroneous misplaced pulses of the laser more common on older laser
technology.
