The Latest Technology

A key component in quality care is technology. Whether you’re undergoing a routine test for glaucoma or a LASIK procedure, you want to know that the equipment being used on your eyes is state-of-the-art.

Among the latest technology in use daily at Christenbury Eye Center is:

Intralase FS

The IntraLase FS laser introduces new high precision femtosecond laser technology to ophthalmology. Patients now have a safer, computer controlled alternative to a microkeratome for creating the corneal flap. By using the new IntraLase FS laser and eliminating the mechanical surgical tool, the risk of infection and complications is greatly reduced. The IntraLase FS laser’s long wavelength allows light to pass through the surface of the cornea without any damage to the outer tissues, as it travels to the exact predetermined depth and location required for the corneal resection (creating the corneal flap required for LASIK).

LADARVision

Alcon Surgical's LADARVision excimer laser system - tracks the eye at a rate of 4,000 times per second, tracking the fastest eye movements with 4x safety margin. The LADARVision excimer laser system features a wide range of FDA approvals and can treat nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.

VISX STAR S4

The VISX STAR S4 Excimer Laser System - with the introduction of the NEW WaveScan system, allows Dr. Christenbury diagnostic information previously unavailable and offers you more treatment options personalized to your vision.

To stay on the cutting edge, the physicians at the Christenbury Eye Center are constantly evaluating new technologies that come on the market to see if they offer better treatment options for patients.
