What are VISX lasers?
VISX lasers are the most popular lasers used in the laser eye surgery industry; they work by emitting a gentle, cool beam laser that reshapes the cornea. The precision of the VISX laser means that it removes less tissue from the cornea per dioptre of prescription than most other lasers currently in use. Each pulse of the VISX laser vaporises 0.25 microns of tissue - that's one thousandth of a millimetre, which is the same as removing 1/200th of a human hair or 1/39,000,000th of an inch in four billionths of a second.
All Optical Express lasers employ advanced eye tracking technology in order to ensure the highest standard of vision for our patients following the procedure. A 3D eye tracker guides the beam of the laser as it moves over the cornea, ensuring that only the section of the cornea requiring treatment receives reshaping. The 3D tracker also follows the movement of the eye if it shifts so the laser remains on course, enabling a precise and completely safe treatment. Optical Express continues to provide our teams with the latest technology and the best resources in laser vision correction as the industry evolves. That's why we remain a leader in laser eye surgery.
