MicroScan provides effective and safe correction of all kinds of refraction anomalies: myopia, hyperopia and all kinds of astigmatism.
System allows to perform personalised cornea ablation in accordance with keratopographer and aberrometer data.
MicroScan allows the following types of laser operations:
- LASIK – Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis
- PRK – Photorefractive Keratectomy (transepithelial or with scarification)
- LASEK, E-LASIK – Laser Epikeratomileusis
- Epi-LASIK – Superficial laser keratomileusis
- PTK – Phototherapeutic Keratectomy
| Refraction anomalies | LASIK | PRK | Ablation zone | Optic zone |
| Myopia | up to -20D | up to -16D |
up to 9mm | from 5.5 to 7mm |
| Myopic astigmatism | up to 10D | up to 6D | up to 9mm | from 5.5 to 7mm |
| Hyperopia* | up to +10D | up to +5D | up to 9mm | from 5.5 to 6.5mm |
| Hyperopic astigmatism* | up to 10D | up to 5D | up to 9mm | from 5.5 to 7mm |
| Mixed astigmatism* | up to 10D | up to 6D | up to 9mm | from 5.5 to 7mm |
|
* LASIK recommended
Phototherapeutic Keratectomy (PTK):
- min ablation depth: 1mkm
- max ablation depth: 200 mkm
- ablation zone from 1 mm äî 10 mm
