VISX
Technology™ Iris Registration
(IR) is the first FDA-approved, fully
automated method of aligning and registering
wavefront corrections for the Advanced CustomVue™ treatment.
It's normal for the pupil to shift
from the time an eye is measured
to the time of treatment. Iris Registration
is an alignment method that provides
greater accuracy and, unlike commonly
used ink-based methods in which
the eye is literally marked with
a pen, IR is not time sensitive,
leaving the physician free to take
their time without having to be
concerned with re-registering the
treatment should the ink markings
dissolve. An obvious advancement
over standard alignment practices,
IR achieves cyclotorsional alignment
by automatically linking a patient's
diagnostic information with the
laser treatment. IR then centers
the treatment correctly, independent
of changes in the pupil center from
measurement to treatment.
All of this translates to more peace
of mind for you, the patient, as you
can rest assured that any movement
of your eye during the procedure will
not jeopardize either the accuracy
of the treatment or your safety.
