Bausch & Lomb Technolas® 217A

The Technolas® is a flying spot/true scanning laser designed to increase accuracy and produce an extremely smooth corneal surface in the delivery of laser vision correction.

Why Metropolitan Eye Center has chosen the Bausch & Lomb Technolas® 217A:

• More laser vision correction procedures are done with Technolas® lasers worldwide than with any other system.
• In a clinical study conducted for the Bausch & Lomb Technolas® 217A Excimer laser system, the key outcomes surpassed the values recommended by the FDA in their Excimer laser guidance document.
• In clinical trials, 99.7% of patients treated for nearsightedness with the Technolas® were able to see well enough after their procedure to pass a driver's exam without their glasses or contacts.
• This innovative laser has the range to effectively treat patients with large pupils.
• At the annual meeting of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, it was reported that this laser produces a safe and highly predictable correction of nearsightedness (with and without astigmatism), resulting in excellent visual outcomes. The reporting doctor, who had been involved in the clinical trials for this laser stated, "The laser's predictability and the high percentage of patients achieving 20/20 or better vision with first surgery are particularly noteworthy, and the outcomes achieved with this technology are unsurpassed by any other device on the market."
• A scanner feedback mechanism ensures quality control during the procedure by monitoring the accuracy of each pulse.
