VISX® Star S4 IR™

If you’re considering laser eye surgery, you should know that not all lasers are created equal.

Image Plus uses the VISX® Star S4 IR™, an excimer refractive surgical system designed to re-contour the front surface of the cornea of the human eye. The VISX laser, guided by iDesign Refractive Studio, reshapes the corneal tissue with a series of cool, computer-controlled laser pulses. Each pulse reshapes a microscopic layer. The total laser time is usually no more than 60 seconds, typically removing 10-15% of the cornea.

This laser can treat nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism with both LASIK and PRK techniques.

Why VISX?

For each treatment with the VISX laser, Image Plus must pay a treatment fee for its use, unlike other lasers that clinics purchase one time and then use as many times as needed. So, why choose VISX? The reason is simple: there’s nothing else like it. Other lasers can treat your prescription according to standard measurements, but they can’t personalize their treatment to your unique eye the way VISX can.
