Improved Treatment Planning

When you measure better, you treat better - The iDESIGN Refractive Studio, the next level of treatment planning with a proprietary INSIDE+OUT approach that adds corneal topography measurements to the wavefront-guided procedure.

Map the entire optical pathway inside the eye with wavefront analysis

  • Measures both lower and higher aberrations
  • ~1,257 data points capture the most minuscule distortions
  • 25X more precise than conventional measurements like manifest refraction*
  • 5X the resolution with high- definition Hartmann- Shack Wavefront Sensor†

Map the entire surface of the cornea with corneal topography


Uses a built-in full-gradient topographer to capture ~1,200 x- and y-slopes to interpret minuscule variations in the corneal surface

Contraindications
Laser refractive surgery is contraindicated in patients with collagen vascular, autoimmune or immunodeficiency diseases; in pregnant or nursing women; in patients with corneal abnormalities including signs of keratoconus, abnormal corneal topography, epithelial basement membrane disease (EBMD) and degenerations of the structure of the cornea; in patients with symptoms of significant dry eyes. If the patients have severely dry eyes, LASIK may increase the dryness. This may or may not go away. Severe eye dryness may delay healing of the flap or interfere with the surface of the eye after surgery. It may result in poor vision after LASIK, in patients whose corneal thickness would cause anticipated treatment would violate the posterior 250 microns (μm) of corneal stroma; in patients with advanced glaucoma; in patients with uncontrolled diabetes; in patients with documented evidence of a change in manifest refraction of more than +0.5 D (in both cylinder and sphere components) for at least one year prior to the date of pre-operative examination. in patients taking medications with ocular side effects. Examples are Isotretinoin (Accutane®) for acne treatment or Amiodarone hydrochloride (Cordarone®) for normalizing heart rhythm.

Warnings
LASIK is not recommended in patients who have systemic diseases likely to affect wound healing, such as autoimmune connective tissue disease, diabetes or an immunocompromised status; have a history of Herpes simplex or Herpes zoster keratitis; have severe allergies or tendency rub their eyes often; have glaucoma, elevated IOP, ocular hypertension or being followed for possible glaucoma (glaucoma suspect); are taking the medication Isotretinoin (Accutane); are taking antimetabolites for any medical conditions.

Precautions
To reduce the risk of corneal ectasia, the posterior 250 microns (μm) of corneal stroma should not be violated. Please refer to Operator’s Manual for a list of Additional Precautions

Adverse Events
Prior clinical study of monovision LASIK using the WaveScan Wavefront System aberrometer, supports the safety and effectiveness of iDESIGN driven Monovision LASIK Treatment. Please refer to Operator’s Manual for a list of Adverse Events and complications in clinical studies for Monovision in Presbyopic Patients with Low to Moderate Myopia and Myopic Astigmatism, Myopia, Mixed Astigmatism and Hyperopia.

INDICATIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION for the STAR S4 IR Excimer Laser System and the iDESIGN Refractive Studio for Wavefront-Guided Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK)

INDICATIONS FOR USE
The STAR S4 IR Excimer Laser System and the iDESIGN Refractive Studio is indicated for wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in patients: with myopia, with or without astigmatism, as measured by iDESIGN Refractive Studio System with spherical equivalent up to -8.00 D, and cylinder up to -3.00 D, with agreement between manifest refraction (adjusted for optical infinity) and iDESIGN Refractive Studio System refraction as follows: Spherical Equivalent: Magnitude of the difference is less than 0.625 D, Cylinder: Magnitude of the difference is less than or equal to 0.5 D, in patients 18 years of age or older; with refractive stability (a change of ≤1.0 D in manifest refraction spherical equivalent for a minimum of 12 months prior to surgery), and with wavefront capture diameter of at least 4 mm.

Contraindications
iDESIGN System driven PRK surgery is contraindicated in patients with any type of active connective tissue disease or autoimmune disease, in patients with signs of keratoconus, abnormal corneal topography, and degenerations of the structure of the cornea, in patients whose corneal thickness would cause anticipated treatment would violate the posterior 250 microns (μm) of corneal stroma, in patients with uncontrolled diabetes, in patients with active eye infection or active inflammation, in patients with recent herpes eye infection or problems resulting from past infection, in patients with significant dry eyes. If the patients have severely dry eyes, PRK may increase the dryness. This may or may not go away. Severe eye dryness may delay healing or interfere with the surface of the eye after surgery. It may result in poor vision after PRK.

Warnings and Precautions
iDESIGN System driven PRK surgery is not recommended in patients have systemic diseases that may affect wound healing, such as controlled autoimmune, or connective tissue disease, or controlled diabetes, have an immunocompromised status or take medications that may result in a weakened immune system such as antimetabolites for any medical conditions or affect wound healing such as Isotretinoin (Accutane), have a history of Herpes simplex or Herpes zoster keratitis, have glaucoma, In patients with a cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator or other implanted electronic device, have mild to moderate dry eye, have decreased vision in one eye (e.g., amblyopia). Surgeons are reminded that they should instruct the patient to fixate on the Patient Fixation LED during surgery with or without the use of the ActiveTrak System. Please refer to Operator’s Manual for a list of additional Precautions.

Caution
U.S. Federal law restricts this device to sale, distribution, and use by or on the order of a physician or other licensed eye care practitioner who has been trained in the calibration and operation of this device.

Adverse Events
Please refer to Operator’s Manual for a list of Adverse Events and Complications in clinical studies for wavefront-guided PRK Patients with Myopia and Myopic Astigmatism.
