VISX Star S4

A lot of lasik vision correction clinics will advertise that they are equipped with the most advanced equipment. For instance, if you go to a website for your local LasikPlus Vision Center they’ll say they have the VISX Star S4 laser.

So what is the VISX laser, and why is it so great?

VISX is a Santa Clara, CA company that designs, manufactures, and sells laser vision correction systems. Their most advanced lasik vision surgery system is the Star S4 IR Excimer Laser System.

The VISX Star S4 integrates with the WaveScan WaveFront system which generates highly accurate 3-D maps of each eye, detailing the tiniest abberations and disorders. By integrating with the WaveFront maps, the VISX laser can be extremely precise during the lasik surgery procedure.

Also, the VISX Star S4 removes the smallest amount of corneal tissue of any laser available. This gives shorter treatment times and greater flexibility to personalize the laser treatment.

My advice is to ask your lasik clinic which lasers they use, including the name and model. Then do your research on the Internet to make sure they’re using the level of technology that makes you feel most comfortable.
