What is Zyoptix?
The Bausch & Lomb Technolas ® 217z Zyoptix™ System is the world's leading excimer laser for personalized vision correction. Its innovative "flying spot" technology produces an extremely smooth corneal surface. With the Zyoptix™ System, your doctor can advance your vision to a new level of precision and clarity. In fact, in a clinical study 91.5% of subjects achieved 20/20 or better vision.
Personalized Precision
Your eye is as unique as your own fingerprint, with its own special shape and complex characteristics that make it unlike any other. The best treatment is one that is unique to you. To better understand your particular vision and any impairments you may have, the Zyoptix™ system maps thousands of data points - giving your doctor a fully detailed, three-dimensional picture of your cornea's shape and characteristics. Your doctor can then provide a unique treatment for each eye, resulting in personalized vision correction that is as individual as your eye.
Small imperfections in the shape of the eye can cause a scattering of light, which in turn can contribute to vision impairment. This scattering of light forms distinct patterns within the eye known as aberrations. The innovative design of the Zyoptix™ personalized laser vision correction system allows your doctor to measure these aberrations, then plan a treatment that exactly matches the eye's individual vision errors.
Well-Tested Technology
While you may have only recently heard of the Bausch & Lomb Zyoptix™ personalized laser vision correction technique in the United States, the procedure is hardly new or untested. In fact, the Zyoptix system has been providing clear, and accurate eyesight for over 2 years, and has been used in over 100,000 procedures worldwide. In fact, in the U.S. clinical trial not one patient, among those expressing an opinion, was dissatisfied with the results.
