Zyoptix®

Taking LASIK to a whole new level, Zyoptix® is the very latest development in laser vision correction from Bausch and Lomb.

Much like your fingerprint, your eyes are also individually unique; with unique characteristics come unique visual flaws. Zyoptix® combines the Zywave and laser technologies to form a customized LASIK treatment that’s specifically designed to treat these microscopic visual errors. The result is a more precise treatment than conventional LASIK and outstanding visual acuity.

The Zyoptix® is designed specifically for the LASIK procedure, utilizing the innovative “dancing light” technology to provide world-class LASIK results.

Using a narrow 2 mm beam, the Zyoptix® literally dances across the cornea, with a rapid pulse pattern that quickly and safely achieves the desired correction. The beam then smoothes the corrected area into the rest of the cornea, giving it a more natural shape for better visual acuity. Plus, the Zyoptix® offers an extra-wide treatment zone, which reduces the potential for glare and halos during low light conditions or at night.

According to a clinical study, over 99 percent of patients who have their LASIK procedures performed on the Zyoptix® achieve 20/40 vision or better. It’s results like this that make the Zyoptix® an easy choice for the doctors of Chicago Cornea Consultants.

Other benefits of Zyoptix® over standard LASIK include:

• Improved Night Vision: In clinical studies, Zyoptix® patients had fewer problems with night driving vision than did patients who had
  conventional LASIK.
• In-depth Diagnostics: Each Zyoptix® assessment involves an additional diagnostic (screening) process utilizing the Orbscan/Zywave system to help the surgeon develop your personalized treatment plan and to further ensure a superior outcome.
• Exceptional Results: With more than 100,000 custom eye treatments worldwide and virtually zero dissatisfied patients, Bausch & Lomb Zyoptix® stands head and shoulders above other conventional lasers for delivering crisper, clearer vision with less dependency on eyeglasses or contacts.

Drs. Richard Dennis, Randy Epstein, and Parag Majmudar are proud to be among the first in the Chicago area to offer Bausch & Lomb Zyoptix®. If you want to learn more about this exciting technology, contact Chicago Cornea Consultants today or click here for more information on Custom LASIK!

Technolas® 217z

Using the most advanced technology available, Bausch & Lomb's Technolas® 217z is the world's leading excimer laser. Its innovative “flying spot” technology produces an extremely smooth corneal surface.

Unlike current standard lasers, the Technolas® 217z uses a state-of-the-art feedback mechanism that makes sure every pulse is placed exactly as prescribed. And the Technolas® 217z is the only laser specifically designed ergonomically for LASIK, which means greater comfort for you and greater flexibility for your surgeon.

VISX Staar S4 ActiveTrak™ Excimer Laser

Chicago Cornea Consultants is proud to also offer the VISX Staar S4 ActiveTrak™ Excimer Laser for LASIK vision correction procedures. The innovative ActiveTrak™ technology allows monitoring of eye movement in all three dimensions without pupil dilation, which means more precise control for the doctor and less stress for the patient.

Variable Spot Beam technology gives the doctor greater flexibility, with seven separate beams ranging from 0.65 to 6.5 millimeters in size providing faster, smoother treatment and highly accurate corneal shaping. Plus, VSS™ (Variable Spot Scanning) technology adds a blend zone that helps smooth the cornea, increasing the ablation (treatment) zone by 51 percent. This transition provides a gradual change from the treatment area to the non-treated corner, resulting in clearer, sharper vision, especially in low light conditions. The doctors of Chicago Cornea Consultants also utilize the Alcon Autonomous Ladarvision laser system.

As with any medical procedure, the experience and skill of your surgeon will influence your outcomes. Drs. Richard Dennis, Randy Epstein, and Parag Majmudar are ALL board-certified ophthalmologists with advanced fellowship training specifically in corneal surgery. This is important, as the fine vision adjustments made during LASIK are possible by training the laser on the cornea of your eye. As corneal specialists who have performed thousands of LASIK procedures, you can trust in the experience and technology of Chicago Cornea Consultants to give you the best possible results for your vision correction procedure.

CustomCornea®

Did you know that your vision is as unique as your own individual fingerprint? If your vision is unique to you, doesn’t it make sense that your LASIK procedure should be unique to you as well? The doctors at Chicago Cornea Consultants think so! That is why they utilize CustomCornea® technology to custom-design your very own LASIK treatment.

CustomCornea® is completely customized to your eyes and your eyes alone. Your CustomCornea® procedure at Chicago Cornea Consultants has three steps: capture, match, and treat.

During the first step of CustomCornea®, a Wavefront™ map is created of your eyes. The unique combination of higher and lower aberrations is captured by shining a laser light into the eye and measuring the reflected light waves.

The second step of CustomCornea® involves inputting your wavefront map into the laser, which is used as a guide during the CustomCornea® procedure. The map is matched with your eye’s exact position during surgery, so the procedure is extremely accurate and safe. The final step of CustomCornea® is to reshape the cornea with the excimer laser, which is guided by the Wavefront™ map.

It’s that easy! In as little as a few minutes, you can have the clear vision you desire. If you want to learn more about CustomCornea® and the exciting things it can do for your vision, contact Chicago Cornea Consultants today!
