3) Advanced Eye-Tracking Technology

Don’t worry about your eye moving – advanced tracking technology follows the eye to make sure every laser pulse is put in an accurate location.

Tracking technology is the most fascinating technology to enter the refractive surgery arena in recent years. Tracking means it helps the laser follow any eye movements.

For some people this is the only way to have laser vision correction. If they can't hold their eye still, the tracker just follows the eye and makes sure every laser pulse is put in an accurate location. For some patients who can hold their eye still, the tracker gives them great peace of mind that they do not need to worry about eye movement.

We tell you in your exam whether or not we feel you should have a laser treatment with tracking. If we do not feel you need a tracker but you want it for peace of mind, just let us know. You do not feel anything different... the tracker just follows your eye.

It is important to realize that there are different tracking technologies out there. Some companies have tracking technology that is not fast enough to compensate for eye movements. So if tracking technology is important to you, it is important to know that to be effective a tracking system should have a sampling rate of at least 1000 samples per second to move the laser faster than any eye movements and maximize the chance that the laser pulses will be placed in an accurate location. Our Autonomous laser has a sampling of 4000 samples per second. This is why our patients have confidence in our tracking system.
