Surgical Equipment

The fully symmetrical bi-convex design gives the upper and lower surfaces of the lenticule the same length, so both refractive surfaces are precisely symmetrical. As a result, no corneal wrinkles form during recovery and the corneal surface stays smooth, minimizing astigmatism and higher-order aberrations for clearer, more stable vision.

With low laser energy of 40nJ, among the lowest in the world, surgery can be gentler and more precise. The small spot size and tight spot spacing minimize thermal damage to the cornea and allow stable, delicate lenticule creation. This helps reduce thermal damage to the cornea.

By minimizing damage to corneal nerves, it reduces the risk of dry eye syndrome and myopic regression. Conventional surgery can sever the corneal epithelial nerves and cause dry eye, but Elita forms the lenticule in the deep stromal layer of the cornea, minimizing nerve damage and helping maintain stable vision.

With Silk SMILE LASIK using Elita, the central axis and astigmatism axis can still be adjusted after docking, allowing more precise, personalized vision correction.

It features sophisticated eye-tracking technology that can predict up-down and left-right rotation and movement of the eye, Z-axis rotation, and even forward movement of the eye. It compensates for tiny tremors and movements of the eye during surgery, and accurate centration prevents decentration when the corneal stromal lenticule is created, enabling more accurate surgery.

With conventional SMILE LASIK, the flat corneal contact interface could deform the cornea during surgery, sometimes causing the suction to release easily. ATOS’s curved interface and high suction pressure help prevent suction loss even if the patient suddenly moves the eye during laser delivery.

By delivering a fast laser with a maximum pulse rate of 4MHz, 8 times faster than other manufacturers’ laser systems, it shortens surgery time for faster visual recovery and enhanced safety.

With ATOS, the edge of the corneal tissue (lenticule) is removed smoothly without a side cut, eliminating the minimum lenticule thickness required in conventional SMILE LASIK and preserving more residual corneal thickness. The smooth transition zone also minimizes light scattering for satisfying quality of vision, epithelial ingrowth and myopic regression are minimized, and the enlarged transition zone helps prevent glare.

Low pulse energy starting from 75nJ prevents thermal damage to the cornea, and the smooth corneal ablation surface minimizes light scattering and allows somewhat faster visual recovery.

Amaris RED has a remarkable surgical speed, with corneal ablation time of under 1.3 seconds per diopter. Shorter ablation time not only shortens surgery but also reduces the time the cornea is exposed to the laser, dramatically helping prevent thermal damage to corneal cells. It minimizes the likelihood of dry eye and also helps speed visual recovery and reduce post-operative pain.

With a beam size of 0.54mm, the most precise in the world and the smallest among excimer lasers, it allows vision correction 3.5 times more precise and delicate than conventional lasers. This enables smoother, more precise corneal ablation for clearer vision, and because more residual cornea is preserved, it allows the safest surgery.

SmartSurf is an innovative Smart Pulse technology that corrects vision without touching the eye. Combined with the benefits of touch-free TransPRK surface treatment, it enables fast wound healing and visual recovery.

At <Shinagawa LASIK Center>, Japan’s largest LASIK specialty hospital where 80% of Japan’s LASIK patients have surgery, vision tests 3 months after Amaris RED LASIK on 1,748 eyes showed that 100% of patients achieved 1.0 vision, and 98% reached 1.5 or better.

Fast laser delivery (conventional: 250Hz–400Hz) and the smallest 0.54mm laser beam allow smooth yet precise laser treatment. The error-free 0.54mm laser spot treats the cornea with great precision, and fast laser delivery not only shortens surgery time but also minimizes post-operative pain and corneal damage, helps prevent complications and improves quality of vision.

The fastest, safest 5D eye tracking (detection speed: 1050Hz, response time: under 3㎳) detects not only side-to-side eye movement but also tilt, up-down and left-right movement, and height, enabling more accurate surgery.

Using the world’s first vacuum laser delivery system, an ultra-precise super Gaussian laser beam and complete thermal damage control, it provides a precise, smooth corneal surface. It minimizes heat-related post-operative pain and corneal damage, helping prevent related complications and improve quality of vision. It is especially effective in surgery for patients with high myopia, with dramatically improved surgical precision and stability.

The 1050Hz 5D eye tracker overcomes the limits of conventional 3D eye trackers, and the real-time corneal measurement system calculates and monitors changes in corneal thickness during surgery in real time, maximizing surgical safety.

The surgical debris suction system provides a very stable environment on the corneal surface regardless of airflow in the operating room, reducing corneal drying during surgery. Micro-debris generated during the procedure is removed instantly, and the laser beam is delivered through the system’s vacuum unit.

With the surgical assistant system, the surgeon can save and use the parameters for the entire procedure under the conditions they find most comfortable.

The number of rollers has been increased to 7, raising the force and speed with which they drive the pump, and the optical sensor helps keep the anterior chamber stable, allowing higher vacuum pressure (VACUUM). Enhanced phacoemulsification power (PHACO POWER) speeds up lens emulsification.

Because the surgical solution (BSS) and pack (FMS) do not come into direct contact with the machine, the risk of endophthalmitis is lower than with other systems, and the equipment operates in a non-invasive way for added safety.

Optimized, customized surgery is possible according to the type and condition of the cataract.
