LASIK Safety - Iris Tracking

A new advance in laser technology, called iris registration, allows Dr. Jimmy Hu to provide our patients with the highest level of accuracy in laser vision correction. Iris registration utilizes a scanning and tracking technology similar to that used in advanced missile guidance systems. This technology creates a detailed map of the patient’s iris before surgery and then allows the laser to precisely match any iris movement or rotation that may occur during treatment. Since the eye naturally moves slightly during surgery, this allows the laser to make minor adjustments in real-time to compensate for subtle eye and head movements (like breathing).

“Iris Registration adds another level of sophistication to laser vision correction,” says Dr. Jimmy Hu “By automatically adjusting the treatment for the eye’s rotation, Iris Registration provides more individualized adjustments that improve the precision of laser vision correction. This technology provides both increased peace of mind and the ultimate in visual quality to our LASIK patients.”
