For those seeking 20/20 vision or better with one of the highest safety profiles
available, the iLASIK procedure offers clarity in the sea of confusion that consumers
face when considering vision correction. The iLASIK procedure is the most advanced
laser vision correction procedure featuring, for the first time, all of the industry s
most stellar technologies and techniques in one premium procedure.

WaveScan™ wavefront 3-D Mapping: Waves of light precisely map the
anatomy of the patient s eye to identify uniquely individual visual errors
with measurements 25 times more accurate than standard techniques used to
measure glasses and contact lenses. This "fingerprint" of the patient s eye
allows surgeons to customize the laser vision correction to the patient to the
exact curvature of the cornea and microscopic hills and valleys within the
tissue that contribute to poor vision.

IntraLase™ FS (femtosecond) Laser: Replacing the handheld microkeratome blade
with an ultra-fast laser improves safety with reduced flap complications by
eliminating virtually all of the most severe, sight-threatening flap complications.
Patient measurements guide the computer-driven laser to create a customized corneal
flap with micro-precision, while simultaneously preparing an optimal corneal surface
below the flap for better visual outcomes. The iLASIK procedure is the first to
incorporate two lasers with the combined ability to tailor a patient s laser vision
correction procedure to each individual eye from start to finish.

Iris Registration (IR): Precise alignment with Iris Registration provides a fully
automated, non-contact, method for aligning and registering wavefront corrections in
preparation for the laser correction treatment.

Advanced CustomVue™ procedure with the VISX™ Star S4 excimer laser system: The crown
jewel of the customized iLASIK procedure is Advanced CustomVue procedure, which stands
in a class of its own with the broadest range of FDA approved indications on the
market today. Incorporating the precision of wavefront guidance, the Advanced
CustomVue LASIK procedure treats for the reduction or elimination of low to moderate
myopic astigmatism up to -6.00 DMRSE, with cylinder between 0.00 and -3.00 D in
patients 21 years of age or older, with an Optical Zone of 4.0 to 9.0 mm and treatment
of 4.5 and 9.5 with an Optical Zone of 4.0 to 9.0 mm and a Treatment Zone of 4.5 to
9.5 mm. With this impressive span of indications, the Advanced CustomVue procedure
makes laser vision correction possible for more people than ever.
