Capable of creating a corneal flap during the Lasik procedure in less than 10 seconds, the iFS laser’s unique inverted bevel-in side cut angle is designed to provide a virtually effortless flap lift, increase post-operative flap adhesion and enhance the biomechanical stability of the post-Lasik cornea.
The iFS Advanced Femtosecond Laser is available now for order and will be shipped to US surgeons by the third quarter of 2008.
Jim Mazzo, chairman and CEO of Advanced Medical Optics, said: “This technology is an integral part of the company’s proprietary iLASIK technology suite and a tangible example of our commitment to not only maintain a substantial advantage over competing systems, but also to provide technologies that advance the standard of vision care medically.”
