Advanced
Laser Technology
While most laser surgeons who perform LASIK have very limited experience with various excimer laser technologies, Dr. Machat has utilized more than a dozen models from 6 different laser manufacturers. Furthermore, most laser centers only have one type of excimer laser, whereas Dr. Machat has access to three of the most sophisticated excimer lasers available in the world today. Therefore he has had the benefit of not only being able to decide on the best technology for his clinic but the added advantage of being able to select the most ideal laser system for each patient.
Each laser system
at the TLC Custom LASIK center has very advanced capabilities:
| • |
Scanning excimer lasers for smoothness and improved visual quality |
| • |
Flying spot technology for precision and refractive accuracy |
| • |
Correction of any prescription: myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism |
| • |
Larger optical zones for reduced night glare/font> |
| • |
Eyetracking technology for safety and improved vision results |
| • |
Flying spot technology for precision and refractive accuracy |
| • |
Custom
LASIK capabilities for improved visual potential
beyond 20/20 |
 The
Technolas 217Z, LaserSight LSX , and the Autonomous
LADARVISION laser systems are scanning systems utilizing
flying spot technology to correct virtually every
prescription and corneal shape imaginable. While the
Technolas 217Z scans a 1-2mm spot over a 8-9mm zone,
the Autonomous and LaserSight lasers scan a 0.5mm
to 1mm beam over at least a 7mm treatment area reducing
night glare significantly compared to standard Summit
and Visx broad beam lasers. As discussed earlier,
unlike many lasers, these laser systems use highly
sophisticated eyetracking systems to ensure each patient's
treatment is perfectly centered, providing an added
level of safety and accuracy which allows Dr. Machat's
patients to feel more secure and comfortable.
Dr. Machat is able to select the most ideal laser
system for each patient based upon their prescription,
pupil size, corneal thickness, corneal shape as well
as a variety of other clinical parameters. Furthermore,
the Autonomous LADARVISION laser, the LaserSight LSX
and the Technolas 217Z that Dr. Machat possesses all
have Custom LASIK capabilities, allowing him to perform
Wavefront and Topography guided LASIK.

Dr.
Machat combines a decade of clinical experience with
Laser vision correction with the most advanced excimer
laser and microkeratome technology for LASIK. While
most patients do not appreciate the technology available
at Dr. Machat's clinic, many do, particularly other
doctors who seek out not only his surgical expertise
but the advantages that more advanced technology has
to offer, providing potentially safer and better visual
results.
