MORE PRECISION

A combination of continuously working video eyetracker and docking eyepiece tracks eye movements and minimizes fixation saccades.

REVOLUTIONARY

The first laser in refractive surgery leading the light right to the eye via a robotic applicator.

Auto Centration

Our video eyetracking system is connected to the controls of the robotic arms. Once the pupil is detected, the system automatically locks itself on the center of the patient’s pupil, following the movement within tracking range.

In case the eye moves out of eyetracking range during surgery, a re-centration just by pressing the center button can be achieved quick and easy.

A manual reposition of the bed by using the joystick is not neccessary anymore.

Robotic Arms

Our goal is to present the smallest excimer laser platform. To do so, we eliminated the need for a motorized patient bed. Instead, we are bringing the laser light to the eye via a specially designed mobile applicator which is attached to a robotic arm.

The main advantage of this approach is the large working distance during patient preparation and a small distance during treatment, minimizing environmental influences.

The slidable patient bed provides maximum patient comfort. When preparing surgery, all robotic arms are moved away from the patient. The patient will not experience the feeling of being ”block and locked into a machine” and lies relaxed during the whole procedure.

Safe and Fractional Ablation

Fractional ablation is our approach of treating the whole treatment zone in a combined spherocylindrical pattern from the beginning, increasing the refractive correction over time.

The randomized flying spot pattern distributes the individual laser pulses across the whole treatment zone from the beginning. Thus spreading the thermal impact on a larger area and minimizing the temperature increase on the stroma. This will reduce the risk of haze on surface ablation techniques such as PRK, EpiLasik or related treatment techniques.

As an additional advantage, any unintended surgery interruption poses less risk. The surgery can later be finished in a second session similar to re-treating an undercorrection.

Cost Efficiency

The MICRON M7 uses a specially designed laserhead with large energy reserves for long active and passive gas lifetime. The laser generates a small and very homogeneous beam passing along several small mirrors with a very low energy density. This results in low costs for optics and long optics lifetime. The laser setup between surgeries only takes a few minutes. This allows fast and efficient working speed with little patient waiting times. The small footprint allows the laser to be installed even in challenging surgery theatres, minimizing the overhead cost of the clinic.
