Ziemer Ophthalmic Systems Da Vinci Femtosecond Surgical Laser System can possibly allow patients who were denied LASIK, due to cornea thinness and other conditions, to now qualify as a candidate for the surgery.

Over the past several years the LASIK eye surgery industry has seen some incredible technological advancements that resulted in better overall vision and better visual clarity. Not only have patients been able to experience high definition vision but the level of safety has also improved. One of the major LASIK technology breakthroughs with safety was the Femtosecond Laser, a blade-free approach to laser vision correction. The first company to market this product was Intralase Corp. Until recently, Intralase was the only company able to offer blade-free technology for making LASIK flaps (ALL-LASER LASIK).

Ziemer Ophthalmic Systems received FDA clearance in 2007 for its Da Vinci Femtosecond Laser, an improved method of ALL-LASER LASIK. This technological advancement is very significant for safety and better overall vision, as the Da Vinci Femtosecond Laser has several physical advantages over the older Intralase system. The Da Vinci uses laser technology to generate short, microscopic, low-energy infrared laser pulses to perform ALL-LASER LASIK./images The Da Vinci femtosecond laser uses more precisely focused laser pulses at thousands of times less energy per pulse than Intralase, which makes it even safer./images This is a point of drastic differentiation between the Da Vinci femtosecond laser and Intralase.

Feinerman Vision Center is the first LASIK vision correction facility on the west coast to offer this amazing new technology. Please contact us directly to determine if you are a candidate.

The Z-LASIK procedure

The Da Vinci Femtosecond Surgical Laser is completely guided and controlled by the certified ophthalmologist. The device's hand piece gives surgeons superior tactile and visual control of the procedure through the laser microscope. The Da Vinci Femtosecond Surgical Laser System delivers a precisely controlled vacuum generated approach. The rapid laser pulse of this system creates a LASIK flap with more accuracy than any laser in its class. After the femtosecond laser creates the corneal flap, the excimer laser is used to correct vision.

The Da Vinci femtosecond laser is completely bladeless and uses extremely low density rapid laser pulses to create the corneal flap (essential to the LASIK procedure). The low-density approach of this Da Vinci technology is a main factor in improved overall safety./images This gives our patients faster healing time and faster visual recovery than any other technology in the world.

Los Angeles LASIK expert Dr. Gregg Feinerman has performed thousands of LASIK procedures since 1998./images He believes this advancement in femtosecond laser technology has significant advantages over the Intralase system./images Dr. Feinerman wants to provide the best patient care and highest level of safety for his Los Angeles area LASIK patients. Furthermore, he believes the more accurate Da Vinci Femtosecond Laser will enable more people to safely undergo LASIK eye surgery.
