Iris Registration

In 2005 the Laser Eye Institute became the first center to utilize the Iris Registration technology in the state of Michigan. Iris Registration is the latest addition to the CustomVue procedure by VISX. To this date the Laser Eye Institute is one of a select group of centers in the state currently utilizing the Iris Registration technology.

Iris registration offers 3 key benefits:

Accurate Alignment

Iris Registration uses unique matching points on the iris (colored ring around the pupil) to accurately align the treatment on to the cornea. This is needed because a patients head may be tilted slightly from when the original wavescans were created. Previously the surgeon had to make a small mark on the eye, this method was not nearly as accurate as the process of Iris Registration, yet most surgeons still use this method.

3D Active Track

Iris Registration offers the latest generation of active eye tracking. This new tracking system tracks the eye in all 3 dimensions offering unparalleled amount of tracking. The Active Track system ensures that the eye is properly aligned before allowing the cool beams of the laser to discharge.

Patient Verification

The final feature of the Iris Registration uses iris verification to ensure that the correct treatment is applied to the correct patient.

Only with VISX CustomVue

Iris Registration technology is only available on the VISX Star S4 laser with Iris Registration. Currently the Laser Eye Institute is one of only a few centers to offer the Iris Registration technology. Iris Registration is our standard, and carries no extra fee.

The next step is scheduling a complimentary consultation with Dr. Haddad.
