First To Offer Iris Registration 9/16/2005 Laser Eye Institute now offers Iris Registration technology. Iris Registration is the first fully automated method of aligning and registering wavefront corrections for CustomVue treatments. The Laser Eye Institute is the first center in the state of Michigan to offer this exciting new technology. Accurate alignment of the LASIK treatment is essential to optimizing patient outcomes. VISX Iris Registration Technology makes accurate alignment easer and safer than ever with a fully automated method. The new technology replaces previous methods of attaining alignment, which required the physician to manually place ink marks on the white part of the eye called the sclera. "Unlike manual, ink-based alignment methods, Iris Registration Technology is not time sensitive," Doctor Haddad said. "This allows me to re-register alignment even if the treatment has been paused or the eye has moved." How Iris Registration Technology Works: It’s normal for the pupil to shift position from the point of wavefront measurement to the point of treatment. When the CustomVue LASIK procedure is performed, Iris Registration Technology centers the treatment correctly, independent of changes in the pupil center from measurement to the treatment. One set of measurements are taken with the patient seated at the WaveScan System during a work-up a few days before the procedure, and another set taken with the patient lying down on the laser bed. Then, the technology employs the iris registration process to ensure accurate treatment placement. "This is very exciting news," continued Doctor Haddad " Iris Registration Technology makes it easer than ever to achieve accurate alignment with a fully automated, touch-free method.” Added Benefits For More Patients Iris Registration Technology is the latest advancement in the VISX CustomVue LASIK procedure that tailors a distinct correction for each individual based on the unique characteristics of their vision – potentially resulting in the best possible vision for their eyes.
