Activity Outline
Corneal-based refractive surgery is currently undergoing a transformation with the introduction of the first commercially available ray tracing-based procedure. Ray tracing represents a significant advancement over traditional techniques by offering a new level of personalisation for correcting myopia and myopic astigmatism, resulting in very high early visual results. Ray tracing represents a generational upgrade in laser eye surgery treatment and this article explores the background and progress that has led to the first ray tracing system being launched in Australia this year – the InnovEyes Sightmap device and Wavelight Plus treatment (Alcon, USA).
Learning Objectives
- Understand the evolution of corneal based refractive surgery
- Realise the different procedures currently used for laser vision correction
- Understand the benefits of customisation for particular patients
- Realise the potential outcomes achievable by applying ray tracing technology to refractive surgery
