The technology used for LASIK can make a difference in your result. Our mission to use the best technology ensures our effort to deliver the best results. Partnering with Bausch & Lomb, a recognized leader of eyecare globally, Zoellner & Associates provides our patients an integrated system of preoperative diagnostics as well as a superior laser & keratome.

The Orbscan II

Prior to your LASIK surgery, your surgeon must evaluate the cornea, the front transparent window of your eye. This is done with a specialized machine, a topographer, which maps the corneal surface. Conventional topography machines can only map the front, or anterior surface of the cornea. The Orbscan II is a fully integrated multidimensional diagnostic system that goes well beyond standard topography. Unlike conventional topography systems which scan the eye at standard points, the Orbscan II acquires over 9,000 data points in 1.5 seconds to meticulously map the corneal surface both anteriorly and posteriorly and measure corneal elevations and thickness at all points of the cornea.

By providing more comprehensive pre-op diagnostics and surgical planning, exclusionary criteria such as keratoconus, pre- keratoconus, irregular astigmatism, and corneal thinning can be identified to optimize outcomes for LASIK treatments and retreatments.

The Technolas 217

The Bausch & Lomb Technolas 217 is a 4th generation scanning spot laser equipped with an eye tracker that is capable of treating the entire cornea. This goes beyond the standard of broad beam technology, using a computer-controlled, scanner-directed 2mm flying spot beam. This precise technology corrects the refractive error by utilizing its small beam profile to flatten the cornea centrally and then polishes the corneal periphery, or transition zone, to produce and extremely smooth cornea. With this superior performance, more LASIK procedures are done with Technolas lasers worldwide than with any other systems.

US FDA clinical study results show that following surgery with the Technolas 217 laser, 99.7% of patients see 20/40 or better without glasses or contact lenses (20/40 is the usual legal requirement for being able to drive without correction).
