Our Technology

In order to provide you with the best possible laser eye treatment, we constantly research and invest in the latest technology and equipment ensuring you receive the best results.

Here at Visualase we use the iFS Femtosecond Laser by Johnson & Johnson and the SCHWIND Amaris 500E, a highly efficient system with integrated, personalised testing equipment.

Both lasers are considered gold standard.

The iFS advanced femtosecond laser is built from a legacy of innovative IntraLase technologies which is a proven, trusted, and versatile platform.

Proven results:

Delivers greater precision and predictability for optimal patient outcomes compared to mechanical keratomes.

Proven versatility:

Modular, upgradeable design allows multiple applications beyond LASIK flaps

LASIK FLAP CREATION – Customisable and precise LASIK flap creation

iFS Femtosecond Laser offers the following benefits:

  • Results in smooth stromal beds for easier flap lift
  • Provides smoother flap edges to facilitate repositioning on the stroma
  • Helps minimising inflammatory tissue reaction
  • May reduce flap creation time resulting in a higher patient comfort
  • Bladeless – ACCURATE INCISIONS
  • Greater precision and customisation.
  • Allows creation of intrastromal incisions. Individualises each incision using customisable parameters for greater surgical confidence.
  • Allows complete control of angles, placement, and orientations with micron-level accuracy.

The SCHWIND AMARIS 500E perfectly combines efficiency and safety with its compact, ergonomic and mobile design. Automatic Fluence Level Adjustment (AFLA) ensures an optimal balance between the total number of laser pulses and the energy delivered.

The result is fast ablation with optimum smoothing of the cornea. The laser system, with a 500 Hz repetition rate, is perfectly complemented by a 5D eye tracker, which actively compensates for eye movements in five dimensions.

Contact-free online pachymetry measures the thickness of the cornea throughout the entire duration of the laser treatment, and increases intraoperative safety in refractive surgery.

The SCHWIND AMARIS 500E is trusted by eye surgeons, and the outstanding performance of this compact laser system is verified by numerous studies.
