The Leading Method of LASIK Flap Creation from Technolas Perfect Vision

Technolas Perfect Vision devices have been used in more than 7,000,000 LASIK procedures worldwide, and represent the leading method of flap creation in the United States today. There is no safer flap creation technique available today. The device used by Dr. Chokshi is part of a class of devices used in 75% of all LASIK procedures in the United States.

With greater patient safety than ever before, the popularity of LASIK has grown by leaps and bounds. Because Dr. Chokshi is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, you can achieve the visual clarity you've always dreamed of.

The Zyoptix® XP Microkeratome

Each LASIK procedure involves making a flap in the cornea. The flap-making device Dr. Chokshi uses is called a microkeratome. After the flap is created, it is carefully lifted to allow the LASIK procedure to be performed. The laser treatment is performed to reshape the cornea to provide crisp, clear vision. The flap is gently put back into place and simply heals on its own.

Dr. Chokshi is equipped with the latest LASIK flap creation device — one that builds on the company’s exemplary safety record and proven reliability. In fact, clinical studies have shown there to be no safer or more precise method of LASIK flap creation than the one used by Dr. Chokshi.

With the Zyoptix® XP microkeratome, the world’s leading method of flap creation just got even better.

Zyoptix® XP Microkeratome vs. IntraLase®

Today, LASIK flap creation can be performed with either a precision device called a microkeratome, or a laser. Of the leading methods of flap creation, the Technolas Perfect Vision XP microkeratome is the latest generation of flap creation. The XP is the successor to the “gold standard” of LASIK flap creation which has been used in more than seven million procedures worldwide. The microkeratome, used by Dr. Chokshi, has made the best even better to provide greater assurance to LASIK patients.

• LASIK procedures with the XP microkeratome are three to four minutes faster than with the latest IntraLase® device. A faster procedure means less anxiety for you.
  
  
• Analysis of flap results in over 9,000 cases has proven that the method your doctor uses is the most precise method in its class.
  
  
• A head-to-head comparative study analyzing the XP microkeratome and the latest IntraLase® device shows equivalent results following LASIK surgery.
  
  
• "All-Laser LASIK" with IntraLase® actually requires the use of a hand-held metal instrument to pry the flap open after the laser flap creation process. The Zyoptix® XP microkeratome is the lastest generation of flap making technology; there is no safer or more precise method available today.
  
  
• As precise as all-laser LASIK, the XP microkertome means you can have less anxiety and greater confidence in your LASIK procedures.
