Our Laser: The VISX Star S4

The excimer laser used by your eye doctor can affect your satisfaction with LASIK. That's why the EyeSight Laser Center 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
