VISX STAR S3 ACTIVE TRACK UPGRADE

he UW Refractive Surgery Center is among the first in the Northwest to have the VISX Star Upgrade with ActiveTrak^TM!

ActiveTrak^TM is the only system that allows the doctor to track your eye movement in all three dimensions during the treatment, for greater safety and control.

Seven variable-sized beams give the surgeon greater flexibility and allow for faster, smoother treatment with precise corneal shaping, with blend zones out to 8.0 mm.

Unlike other systems, ActiveTrak^TM allows the eye's movements to be tracked during laser treatment without dilating your pupils. This means an even quicker recovery following surgery.

This upgrade also includes the use of variable spot scanning laser ablations to achieve larger treatment zones for nearsightedness up to 8 mm that were recently approved for the VISX laser by the FDA. This will allow treatment of patients with larger pupil sizes that were previously not candidates for LASIK or PRK. The larger ablation zone capability on the VISX laser does not significantly increase ablation time or the depth of tissue ablation in the cornea. We consider this a major advance in laser vision correction.
