The First Vision Institute Now Offers A Personalized Approach to Laser Vision Correction with the Advanced Capabilities of the VISX Waveprint System.

Hollywood, Ca October 22, 2002-Dr. First of the First Vision Institute in Hollywood, Ca now offers his patients the most advanced, personalized treatment in laser vision correction with the VISX WavePrint System.

Each person's vision is unique. Now with the WavePrint System, for the first time your doctor can develop a laser vision plan based on your personal vision needs. The WavePrint Map, a "fingerprint of your vision," obtains a precise and detailed analysis of your entire optical system.

"I am pleased to be able to offer my patients the first truly personalized approach to laser vision correction with the VISX Wave Print system," said Dr. First. "The data available with the new technology not only personalizes treatment, but also enables me to immediately and accurately assess whether a patient is a good candidate for laser vision correction."

The WavePrint System incorporates a host of VISX technologies, including the WavePrint Map, the 3D Active Trak™, and Variable Spot Scaning* (VSS™). The 3D Active Trak is the only system with three-dimensional tracking that follows every involuntary movement of the eye during treatment. VSS allows for a larger treatment area, offering the physician greater flexibility in developing a more personalized laser vision procedure, when pupil size is a consideration.

*The VISX laser utilizes the VSS technology in creating a blend zone in myopic patients receiving =1.0 diopter of vision correction.
