TECHNOLAS Excimer Workstation
The CUSTOMLENS is a femtosecond laser procedure that has been developed for application during cataract surgery. The CUSTOMLENS will be available as a module on the TECHNOLAS Femtosecond Workstation. This makes the CUSTOMLENS the first femtosecond laser to perform refractive and cataract surgery using a single device. The device can also perform the CUSTOMFLAP Lasik flaps, INTRACOR presbyopia treatment, and the CUSTOMSHAPE therapeutic indications.
The SUPRACOR aberration-optimized presbyopic algorithm is a corneal approach, used for presbyopia treatment. The SUPRACOR laser procedure can also be applied for cases such as Emmetropic, Hyperopic, and Myopic eyes, and post-LASIK. The SUPRACOR procedure is conducted with help of the TECHNOLAS Excimer Workstation 217P.
The SUPRACOR algorithm utilizes the experience of INTRACOR and learnings from the corneal approach using excimer lasers, to enhance patient satisfaction and treatment results. The SUPRACOR offers effective results, without producing any undesired aberrations in patients.
