Smooth Ablations = Faster Recovery
When the laser works on the cornea, it is "ablating," that is, removing tissue. Studies have shown that smoother ablations promote faster healing of the cornea as well as better visual acuity. In 1998, VISX released an upgrade to its STAR Excimer Laser System™ that created the smoothest ablations of any laser manufacturer.
This new system, the STAR S3™, uses an array of seven beams to create a 6.5 millimeter-wide ablation area. The seven beams polish the surface of the cornea, resulting in the smoothest treated surfaces available.
