UK laser eye surgery clinics chain, Optimax, introduces new generation lasers into clinics to improve speed, safety and comfort of procedures.

PRESS DISPENSARY - Tuesday, Jun 08, 2010 - UK Laser Eye Surgery specialist Optimax has introduced unprecedented levels of control for its surgeons through the rollout of the new generation iFS IntraLase Lasers across its UK clinics, offering a safer, faster procedure to patients.

A quicker, safer procedure

This new development is a refinement of state of the art Intralase technology. The laser engine runs almost 3 times faster, resulting in a quicker procedure - meaning the cornea is exposed for the shortest possible period, ensuring the best possible result.

Better results for active people

For those with an active lifestyle there is the added bonus of flap stability. Lasik procedures have so far carried an element of risk of flap movement after the treatment. This risk is removed owing to an improved technique for creating the flap.

Less discomfort

Improvements to method used to create the flap means the process is now more rapid, with less pressure required and therefore less discomfort for the patient during the procedure.

Fewer complications

Further technical refinements mean that complications which can lead to halos, glare and potential night vision problems are virtually eliminated.

"This is a great technical step forward for Optimax, meaning better vision outcomes than ever before. It shows our commitment to reviewing and updating our technology, offering laser eye surgery patients the most advanced procedures currently available," says Medical Director Malcolm Samuel.
