IntraLase is a painless technology that eliminates the risk of potential complications from the use of a blade in traditional procedures, while maximizing visual results.

It also makes it possible to treat patients who were previously considered poor candidates for conventional LASIK surgery because of a thin cornea or very severe myopia.

Allegretto Wave Laser

This latest Excimer laser system breakthrough was the first in the industry to be conceived and developed for application in customized refractive surgery.

The Allgretto Wave laser was also the first laser to use wavefront-optimized profiles that takes corneal curvature into consideration, thus integrating an important wavefront-guided treatment feature in standard laser vision correction.

THE VISX STAR S4 Excimer Laser

Latest excimer laser system represents the most advanced laser technology platform available today.

Integrating data collected by the WaveScan WaveFront System, the STAR S4 IR utilizes these exclusive VISX technologies to deliver precision custom ablations

The WaveScan WaveFront System

The WaveScan WaveFront System is an ophthalmic diagnostic instrument that measures the refractive error and wavefront aberrations of the human eye using a Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensor. The measurements can be used to determine regular (sphero-cylindrical) refractive errors and irregularities (aberrations) that cause decreased or blurry vision in the human eye. The WaveScan software uses the information to create a custom tailored correction map for the unique characteristics of each individual eye.

In 2004, The Montreal Eye Clinic acquired the variable White Star technology. It allows the surgeon to adjust the power and speed of the machine, depending on the cataract condition and fragility of the eye.

These new options enhance the safety of the surgery and improve the visual outcome.

Without making any contact with the eye, the Stratus OCT scanner takes multiple pictures across the retina to show your doctor its internal structure.
This unique view is called cross-sectional images of the retina because it enables your doctor to look directly at a “cutaway” view of the layers of the retina and optic nerve head to evaluate their characteristics. Early detection is crucial in initiating or modifying the treatment of glaucoma and retinal problems before permanent damage occurs.
The OCT scanner gives your doctor highly accurate knowledge of your eye that is simply unavailable with any other technology. While other machines show the surface of these structures, the Stratus OCT scanner lets your doctor see what lies beneath the surface.

Your visual field is the total area you can see. During a visual field test, you press a button each time you see a light. A printout shows the size of the area you can see. Dark areas in your printout show reduced vision.

As nerve damage increases, more dark areas appear. The test is designed to verify the central and peripheral fields of vision. It should be repeated regularly and the results analyzed and compared to previous ones.

The IOL Master is used to scan your eyeball to measure its exact diameter.

It uses a cold laser beam to calculate the power of the lens (IOL) to be implanted in the eye.

This test measures your total eye power to determine the exact degree of your myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism.

This is a test to measure  the intraocular pressure without making any contact with the  eye.

By scanning thousands of points on the surface of the cornea, topography can reveal the exact degree and axis of the astigmatism so that it can be corrected during custom cataract surgery. The Pentacan can be used in:

Refractive surgery
Cataract
ICL
Glaucoma

The Optical Path Difference scanner is the only system capable of simultaneously measuring the refraction, topography and wavefront aberrations.

By comparing and analyzing the combined results of these tests, your doctor can predict and improve the visual outcome after custom cataract surgery.
