THE BRAIN POWERING THE iLASIK ® TECHNOLOGY SUITE • 5 measurements in a single capture sequence • 5x the Wavefront resolution* • Treats a broad range of patients Contact your Abbott sales representative today. *Compared to the WaveScan System INDICATIONS: The STAR S4 IR® Excimer Laser and iDESIGN® Advanced WaveScan Studio System is indicated for wavefront-guided LASIK in patients with myopia as measured by iDESIGN® System up to -11.00 D SE, with up to -5.00 D cylinder; with agreement between manifest refraction (adjusted for optical infi nity) and iDESIGN® System refraction of 1) SE: magnitude of the di‹ erence is < 0.625 D, and 2) cylinder: magnitude of the di‹ erence is ≤ 0.5 D; with patients 18 years plus, and with refractive stability (a change of ≤ 1.0 D in sphere or cylinder for a minimum of 12 months prior to surgery). CONTRAINDICATIONS: Laser refractive surgery is contraindicated in patients with: collagen vascular, autoimmune, or immunodefi ciency diseases; pregnant or nursing women; keratoconus, abnormal corneal topography, epithelial basement membrane disease (EBMD) and degenerations of the structure of the cornea; symptoms of signifi cant dry eyes; corneal thickness would cause anticipated treatment would violate the posterior 250 microns (μm) of corneal stroma; advanced glaucoma; and uncontrolled diabetes. If the patients have severely dry eyes, LASIK may increase the dryness, this may or may not go away. Severe eye dryness may delay healing of the fl ap or interfere with the surface of the eye after surgery, it may result in poor vision after LASIK.
