Our Technology
Why Us?
As a world-class vision correction center, Emara Laser Eye Centers is committed to the most advanced technology, providing optimal results for your vision. Here is an overview of the latest technology that will bring your vision into precise focus.
OCULUS Pentacam
The OCULUS Pentacam machine measures the anterior segment of the eye and shape of the cornea.
This measurement of the anterior and posterior corneal surfaces shows the thickness of the cornea as well as the total refractive power.
The data provides early detection of corneal changes which is important for your eye surgeon to assess prior to Laser Vision correction.
iDesign Advanced
Wavescan Studio System
The first step in the custom LASIK procedure is to perform a series of measurements to determine the individual characteristics of your vision. The iDesign system (aberrometer) measure’s over 1000 points throughout your optical system that captures your lower and higher order aberrations and then creates a 3D map of the unique imperfections of your eyes.
Then our Advanced Custom Vue process uses the digital information from that 3D map to design a custom laser treatment for each of your eyes. These digital treatment instructions are then transferred to the laser, driving a new level of precision and accuracy.
Together, the iDesign System and STAR S4 1R Excimer Laser System deliver unprecedented levels of measurement accuracy and treatment precision essential to successfully execute the Custom Vue procedure.
IntraLase
What is the IntraLase Method?
The IntraLase Method is a 100% blade-free technique used to perform the critical first step in the LASIK procedure: creating the corneal flap. The creation of the corneal flap prepares the eye for the second step of the LASIK procedure, where an excimer laser is used on the inner cornea to correct vision.
How does the IntraLase Method Work?
The IntraLase Method uses tiny, rapid pulses of laser light to create your corneal flap, during the first step of LASIK. Each pulse of light passes through the top layers of your cornea and forms a microscopic bubble at a specific depth and position within your eye that is determined by the doctor. The IntraLase laser moves back and forth across your eye, creating a uniform layer of bubbles just beneath your corneal surface. Just prior to applying laser vision correction, the doctor creates your corneal flap by gently separating the tissue where these bubbles have formed. The corneal flap is then folded back so the doctor can perform the second step of your LASIK treatment.
VISX Star S4 IR
The final step in the LASIK procedure is the precise reshaping of the inner cornea or corneal bed. The VISX STARS S4 IR Excimer Laser system represents the most advanced laser technology platform available today. Integrating data collected by the iDesign Advanced Studio System.
The STAR S4 IR utilizes the VISX Iris Registration and other extensive VISX technologies to deliver advanced precision and enhanced safety.
Iris Registration (IR): The first FDA-approved, fully automated, non-contact method of alignment of the correct Custom Vue treatment to the corneal site.
Variable Spot Scanning (VSS): Variable beam sizes from as small as 0.65 mm up to 6.5 mm scanned over the treatment area, conserving tissue and optimizing treatment times.
Variable Repetition Rate (VRR): VRR delivers treatment at varying repetition rates, optimizing treatment time.
ActiveTrak 3D Active Eye Tracking: Captures all 3 dimensions of intra-operative eye movements-no dilation required.
ActiveTrak Automatic Centring: Locates, and then automatically sets the treatment centre to the centre of the pupil.
