All-In-One Femtosecond LASIK • Uses only the femtosecond laser for completing the entire LASIK procedure • No need for an excimer laser • Possible only with the VisuMax Laser from Carl Zeiss • Two Procedures • FLEx=Femtosecond Lenticule Extraction • SMILE=Small Incision Lenticule Extraction
All-Femto Lasik Integrated SolutionBenefits and Advantages Advantages for the patient Advantages for the surgeon • Differentiation from other LVC providers • Uniqueness of AIO procedure (marketing, positioning) • Workflow improvements • Fast bilateral treatment w/o need to change to excimer • higher patient throughput • Less space requirement • Increased profitability • Premium procedure provides higher margin potential (ex.: Intralase, Wavefront) • Minimal-invasive treatment may increase demand • Only one laser, with the investment, consumables and service costs for only laser • Vision correction w/o corneal ablation • Result quality independent of external conditions • High refractive correction with less induced aberration • Fast single-step treatment • Short period of stress and fear • No need to change stations • Potential for minimal-invasive procedure • Better and faster healing (small incisions) • Preserved biomechanical stability of the cornea • Potential for correction of higher myopes • Lower incidence of Dry-Eye syndrome(to be proven)
Study • 683 eyes treated between Aug 2008 and February 2010 • Includes eyes treated with both FLEx and SMILE • All consecutive eyes- All eyes treated have been included • Video Illustrates technique of All in One (AiO) Femtosecond Laser Refractive Surgery
Subject Demographics • Pre-operative: 683 eligible eyes (339 OD, 344 OS) • 429 female eyes, 254 male eyes
Postoperative Results • 6 month 423 eyes
AiO Safety Change in CDVA @3 month 92% unchanged/gained
AiO StabilityAchieved correction (MR SEQ) over time Highly stable refraction over time!
AiO Refractive Outcome MR SEQ Percent within Attempted@1w and @6m 1 week (639) 6 month (423) High predictability for early and late follow-ups!
AiO Refractive Outcome MR SEQ Percent within Attempted @1w 99% ± 1.00 D @3m100% ± 1.00 D
PreOP CDVA vs. postOP UDVA Early visual recovery: Only full-correction cases! Only 94% are 20/25 or better preOP
AiO-Astigmatism CorrectionNormalized Double Angle Minus Cylinder – Scatter Plot ►only eyes with myopic astigmatism preOP (485 eyes with myopic astigmatism) High predictability in cylinder correction after 1 week! 1 week (460 eyes with myopic astigmatism)
