London Eye Centre

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

Excellent Results
The latest VISX® model, the Star S4, has a number of new breakthroughs that have improved the excellent results we've already been achieving.

The WavePrint™ Map 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 standard methods. The powerful WaveScan software can translate this information into a customized treatment.

Variable Spot Scanning (VSS™) is an exclusive 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 device, laser vision correction required patients to hold their eyes as still as possible during the procedure. The 3D ActiveTrak™ follows any tiny motions of your eye instantaneously and automatically, in all three dimensions, repositioning the laser to ensure accuracy. You can relax, knowing that you're obtaining a correction that's precisely centered on your eye.

The VISX® laser also preserves more corneal tissue. Combined with the 'No Touch'™ method, this provides the best option for patients with thin corneas who may not be eligible for LASIK or procedures using lasers that remove more tissue.
