The procedure is usually painless. The treatment allows for fast rehabilitation with rapid return of clear vision. STAR S2 technology produces an even and homogeneous energy profile. And unlike single-beam scanning lasers, the S2's seven beam array covers a larger area of the cornea, enabling you to complete procedures quickly and efficiently. The device also eliminates the need for pupil dilation or pre-imaging, because it tracks the entire pupil, rather than the pupil center only.
Clinical studies are underway for hyperopia and expanded ranges of myopia.

The safety and effectiveness of re-treatment procedures with the Hyperion LTK System or other refractive surgical devices have not been established. Remember that the surgeon is performing the procedure, utilizing the laser. Talk to our experienced ophthalmologists about which is right for you.
