Why LadarVisionTM
Don't Just have LASIK, have
LadarVision™ LASIK!
Relax, we're tracking you with space age technology.
How fast is LadarVision™ fast? How about
4000 times per second. No other laser system even comes close!
Small eye movements are common during LASIK treatments, and with
the exclusive radar tracking available on our Alcon LadarVision
4000 laser we can track your eye nearly instantaneously. So
relax, we are tracking you faster than you can blink.
LadarVision offers you these advantages not available on any other laser.
- The Widest Range of Approvals-- With the only laser approved for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and mixed astigmatism, for both
LASIK and PRK, we can treat more patients than ever before.
- Relax, we’re tracking you— Using radar technology as your eyes move, the laser moves with you. So relax, LASIK is safer than
ever but only with LadarVision.
- Patented Pontillistic Treatment— Exclusive small scanning spot pattern means smoother treatments, better
astigmatism correction, and faster recovery.
- Wide Treatment Zones for Better Night Vision— The flexibility of the widest true treatment zones available for
decreased night glare.
Only LadarVision offer these
features.
And you won’t find this technology just anywhere…
in Lubbock and the South Plains, you'll find it only at
Texas Tech’s Laser Vision Institute
So why
doesn't everybody use this technology?
Good question. Partly because this technology is more expensive
than older generations of lasers and partly because cheaper
discount centers have committed themselves to older technology
and are not in a position to be able to change. Dr. Stahl has
used several lasers over the years, and from first hand
experience finds that results with LadarVision outperforms all
the rest.
So
which laser should I choose for my eyes?
Take a look at the table below. When you compare our laser
technology to, centers locally or in other parts of the state,
the choice is clear! You have one pair of eyes, trust them to
the best technology in the hands of our experienced surgeons.
