Re:Vision is the only Vision Correction Centre to combine the FEMTO LDV Z6 laser with the Schwind Amaris 1050RS laser for all-laser Wavefront-Guided LASIK procedure. Demonstrated clinical results show that Z-LASIK is the safest, most accurate and most advanced LASIK procedure in New Zealand (data on file).

Benefits of Wavefront-Guided LASIK

The new ZEIMER FEMTO LDV Z6 utilises extremely fast, short pulses of light, creating the corneal flap (the first step of the LASIK procedure) in only a few seconds. Due to its speed, less energy is delivered into the eye, enhancing the overall safety of the procedure.

The lower energy and increased speed also reduces the chance of any complications during treatment, and faster healing, for clearer vision.

Benefits include:

• Safety: The energy per pulse delivered is a 90% reduction when compared to other femtosecond lasers—this results in improved patient comfort, and reduced inflammation and light sensitivity
• Greater Precision: By creating precise flaps, patients with high refractive errors or thin corneas can benefit more.
• Shorter Procedure Time: The Z6 delivers 5 million pulses per second, making it a procedure which is three times faster and more comfortable for the patient.
• Less Chance of Dry Eye: The Z6 is a gentler laser utilising low energy, so the chances of dry eye post-operation are reduced.
• Faster Visual Recovery: The unique bubble treatment pattern creates an incredibly smooth treatment surface, leading to a faster recovery time.

Ziemer Z6 Compared to Conventional Lasers

Conventional femtosecond lasers—like the IntraLase—create bubbles in the cornea, allowing a flap to be created. IntraLase bubbles, however, do not overlap, leaving tissue bridges between the bubbles. The tissue bridges need to be broken in order to lift the flap. This results in a less than perfect surface for treatment.

With the Wavefront-Guided LASIK method, the flap is elegantly created by applying millions of laser spots in seconds, which are accurate within one hundredth of a millimetre. This results in a safer, less invasive approach to the initial step of the laser vision correction process.

Enhanced Control = Better Outcomes

A unique feature of the FEMTO LDV Z6 is the level of control, which allows our surgeons to personalise the exact size, thickness and depth of the initial flap for each patient.
