With today’s advances in laser eye surgery and emerging technologies, having sharp, near-perfect vision for life is a clear choice for many. While standard LASIK surgery offers several benefits, custom procedures may be more appropriate if you are nearsighted, or if you’ve already had refractive eye surgery that failed to give you the results you needed.  

The Zyoptix system is designed by Bausch & Lomb, and the company claims that this system is more precise than the standard LASIK treatment. U.S. FDA Clinical Trials of over 100,000 Zyoptix surgeries report that 91.5% of patients had unaided vision of 20/20 or better (vision without glasses or contacts) and 70.3% of patients had unaided vision of 20/16 or better.  

Am I A Good Candidate for Zyoptix Laser Eye Surgery?  

Zyoptix offers several benefits for the average LASIK patient, but some people may be stronger candidates for the procedure than others. The University of Rochester Medical Center identifies the following as ‘ideal patients’ for Zyoptix treatments:  

• People with night vision problems
• People with naturally large pupils
• People with pre-existing higher order aberrations
• People with nearsightedness and/or astigmatism

Benefits of Zyoptix Vision Correction Treatments

If you’re looking for one of the latest vision correction treatments with minimal risks, consider these key benefits of Zyoptix:  

Personalized Treatments – the Zyoptix system can measure aberrations in the eye that are causing vision problems, and generate a three-dimensional map.  This map can then be used as part of the laser correction process to target specific areas.  

Higher Chance of Better Vision – According to The LASIK Directory, the Zyoptix laser offers a 30% greater chance of 20/20 vision than standard lasers. This means you can undergo laser eye surgery just once to correct vision problems – some procedures require subsequent treatments to achieve the desired results.  

Improved Accuracy – Zyoptix lasers make use of active eye tracker technology that determines exactly where to apply the laser pulses. This reduces the risk of eye damage and complications associated with standard LASIK procedures, and also lowers the chance of needing subsequent treatments.  

Scanning Spot Technology – laser eye surgery modifies the shape of the cornea, and Zyoptix lasers can smooth out the cornea with an innovative ‘dancing light’ laser.  This scans the eyes and makes it easier to target the laser in exactly the right area.  

Speedy Recovery – the targeted and precise procedure means you can enjoy the benefits of perfect vision within days of leaving the LASIK surgeon’s office.  Zyoptix is both precise, and efficient.    

Over 800,000 LASIK procedures were performed in 2007, and this amount has steadily increased over the years as LASIK and LASEK become more affordable for the average American. Still, custom procedures may be more beneficial to you when you want to minimize the risk of complications and common side effects associated with the surgery. 

Zyoptix offers several benefits for patients who want a more accurate and precise procedure, promising sharper and more accurate results for life. Learn more about vision correction in our information guide, or find a LASIK doctor that offers Zyoptix in your area.
