From A for arm to Z for toe, there are standard surgical methods. Eye surgery is now standard practice. State-of-the-art technologies, such as laser technology, are used. This requires the utmost precision and reliability of all instruments and equipment.
A surgical instrument is precisely positioned over the eyeball using a controlled vacuum, and the outermost layer of the cornea is incised. The resulting circular flap is not completely detached; it remains firmly attached to the cornea, similar to a hinge. The flap is then folded back, preparing the surgical field. This procedure prepares the area for correcting refractive errors and other vision problems using laser beams. The precise incision is made by the Amadeus™ microkeratome from SIS. The blade is moved precisely back and forth by the PRECIstep 2-phase stepper motor with planetary gearing. A FAULHABER brushless DC motor simultaneously oscillates the blade. This solution—eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses—offers patients more than just an alternative; it is also very comfortable. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis in 10 to 15 minutes, is largely painless, has a short recovery time, and meets high safety standards.
