Alcon, Inc. has now chosen Drs. Dello Russo to introduce their newestlaser: the EYE-Q, the thinking man's laser. Alcon believes that it iscurrently the most advanced laser in the market. Although lasik is consideredquite safe nowadays, the EYE-Q is more precise than other lasers since it onlyperforms "customized" lasik on patients, reducing and even improving some sideeffects.
Each patient receives a treatment unique to his eye structure so that eachperson reaches his maximum vision potential. No two treatments will likely bethe same. "Along with the greater precision is less need for enhancements,"explains Dr. Jeffrey Dello Russo.
Patient comfort has been enhanced by the speed of this new trackingflying-spot laser. The average treatment takes about 10 seconds, allowing amore comfortable laser experience. Dr. Jeffrey Dello Russo reminds us that theno-blade laser takes merely 20 seconds to make a flap. Coupled with the speedof action of each of the two lasers is the lack of need for drops which makesthe overall lasik procedure last only a few minutes for each eye.
Drs. Dello Russo stated that "just when you think lasik can't get anybetter, Alcon offers an improved laser technology that takes us even beyondCustom-cornea. The Alcon EYE-Q, THE THINKING PERSON'S LASER."
