London Eye Centre uses the AMO (VISX®) Star S4-IR Excimer Laser System, the most advanced technology available. VISX invented the technology for laser vision correction over 20 years ago and continues to be the most trusted laser among surgeons. Recently over 70% of surgeons surveyed said they would select AMO (VISX) if they could choose one laser to use on their patients. We have been a training site and clinical trial facility for AMO (VISX) since 1990 and many VISX employees had their own laser vision correction performed at London Eye Centre.

The latest AMO (VISX) laser, the Star S4-IR has a number of new break-throughs that have been improving the excellent results we’ve already been achieving.

The WaveScan Wavefront system provides a new level of diagnostic information previously unavailable; it reveals the way your entire optical system processes light. WaveScan-based digital technology identifies and measures imperfections in your eyes 25 times more precisely than standards methods. The powerful WaveScan software can translate this information into a customized treatment.

Variable Spot Scanning (VSSTM) is an exclusive AMO (VISX) laser technology that allows for a larger treatment area. This has minimized earlier night vision issues where pupil size is a consideration.

Without a tracking devise, laser vision correction is required patients to hold their eyes as still as possible during the procedure. The 3D ActiveTrakTM follows any tiny movements of your eye instantaneously and automatically, in all 3 dimensions, repositioning the laser to ensure accuracy. You can relax knowing that you’re obtaining a correction that is precisely centered on your eye.

The AMO (VISX) laser also preserves more corneal tissue. Combined with the ‘No Touch’ PRK method or the IntraLase SBK method, this provides the best options for patients with thin corneas who may not be eligible for LASIK or procedures that remove more tissue.
