Scanning Lasers perform faster procedures than most broad beam lasers, and retreatment rates are significantly lower than with broad beam equipment.
Most refractive surgeons provide only one type of excimer laser.
Clear Choice surgeons utilize both the scanning and broad beam lasers. Based upon your prescription, your surgeon will select which laser is best for your treatment. The scanning laser uses less energy per pulse than the broad beam laser. This results in a smoother ablation surface one free from ridges or grooves.
