VisuMax from ZEISS
Defining the pulse rate in refractive surgery
Remarkable precision and detail Defining new trends in modern corneal surgery
As a ground-breaking, high-performance femtosecond laser system, the VisuMax® from ZEISS is significantly shaping the world of refractive surgery. With its outstanding cutting precision, exceptional speed and gentle treat – ment approach, it is the ideal platform for cutting-edge corneal surgery applications, including Flaps, Keratoplasty, Incisions for ICR and SMILE.
Small incision lenticule extraction or SMILE is redefining refractive surgery as we know it. ZEISS is at the forefront of this 3rd generation laser vision correction – with the minimally invasive, flapless ReLEx® SMILE solution.
The combination of the VisuMax and a MEL® excimer laser from ZEISS addresses wide-ranging needs of the modern re fractive surgical practice. In fact, it is the only refractive platform to perform all three generations of laser vision correction: PRK/LASEK (surface ablation surgery), Femto-LASIK/LASIK (flap surgery) as well as SMILE (minimally invasive, flapless surgery).
The result is a refractive platform that merges proven corneal surgical techniques with remarkable details as the basis for excellent, highly individualized treatment outcomes – the ZEISS VisuMax.
VisuMax from ZEISS Precision in all its facets
The VisuMax is a truly innovative femtosecond laser system. With its perfectly coordinated components, it is well designed to support maximum cutting precision, efficiency, predictability and comfort for the most advanced corneal surgery applications
ReLEx SMILE The VisuMax is the first femtosecond laser system to perform the minimally invasive, flapless SMILE procedure. With ReLEx SMILE from ZEISS, a refractive lenticule as well as the incision through which it is extracted are created in a single step – without ablation or flap. Despite its proven predictability, a retreatment may be necessary in rare cases. If so, the initial SMILE incision can be extended into a flap with the option CIRCLE from ZEISS.
Flap The VisuMax creates flaps of a highly predictable thick ness and of adjustable geometries for Femto-LASIK and PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision from ZEISS – the re commended treatment option for presbyopic patients.
Keratoplasty With the Keratoplasty option, the VisuMax covers several corneal transplant procedures, including lamellar and penetrating keratoplasty. High-precision cutting quality and rapid incision speed enable the efficient preparation of precision corneal grafts and recipient corneas.
Incision for ICR The femtosecond laser technology of the VisuMax is also ideally suited for creating incisions in preparation of intracorneal ring (ICR) implantations. When defining tunnel parameters, it even performs inclined cutting geometries and ring tunnel segments smaller than 360° with a high degree of flexibility.
