What Are The Benefits Of CustomCorrection™ LASIK Eye Surgery with the TENEO™ 317 Laser?
The TENEO™ 317 Laser system, by Bausch & Lomb, is the newest and most advanced LASIK/PRK laser available in Canton, Alliance, Youngstown and Ohio. Dr. Roholt, and associate Drs. Celmer, Young and Wohl at Roholt Vision Institute are the first in Ohio, and among the first nationally, to use this technology to provide your best vision.
The TENEO™ excimer laser is unique from other LASIK lasers. It’s advanced eye-tracker, operating at 1740 Hz, is the fastest available today. It is designed to ensure the laser ablation pattern is not negatively affected by the patient’s eye movement. This is 3 times faster than the speed of the laser’s repetition thus achieving better post-operative outcomes. Furthermore, the laser that operates at 500 Hz, which is the fastest ablation time for all excimer lasers currently available in the United States, operating at approximately 1.2 seconds per diopter. This also allows efficient and accurate treatment of
myopic astigmatism, and for a patient with myopia of -3.0 diopters, treatment is less than 4 seconds!
The unparalleled 3-dimensional eye-tracking, with the proprietary TENEO™ Iris recognition, along with optimized treatment of spherical aberration, results in superb vision both day and night.
