Zeiss MEL 80: The new-generation Excimer Laser*

The new MEL 80 is the 5th generation laser. It is very fast with all the technology of Carl Zeiss Meditec involved in this refractive laser system. Eyetech Lasik Clinic was the first in North America to have this laser installed-There are only 2 of these in North America as of August 2003.

Very Fast
The new MEL 80 is super fast, it shortens ablation times remarkably. To the benefit to the comfort of the patient. Because shortened stroma exposure time allows very fast visual recovery.

New Ultra-Fast Eyetracker
MEL 80 has a new ultra-fast Eyetracker. Your correction will be placed very precisely without dilating your pupil. Some lasers boast of very fast eyetrackers but the response time-which is more important than the rate of tracking- is a lot slower than MEL 80. They also require a dilated pupil to make the Eyetracker work.

Very Small Laser Spot
The new MEL 80 has a very small spot of only 0.7mm with Gaussian beam profile.(compare with Visx 4.5mm average spot size and Bausch & Lomb 217 laser 2.0 mm). This allows finest corrections even of higher order aberrations without loosing the benefit of smooth operated surface. MEL 80 incorporates treatment optimizing tools e.g. improving vision outcome under dim light and at night. It also takes less tissue to do the same correction than other previous generation lasers.
.
Improved software
The MEL 80 has Improved software easily uploading and entering data. Of course, the parameters are customized to your individual eye.

The MEL 80 is not yet available in the United States for doing customising correction for long sight (hyperopia).
